City of love. City of splendour. City of terror. City of dreams. Inspired by the haunting passionate story of the city of lights this epic novel weaves a gripping tale of four families across the centuries: from the lies that spawn the noble line of de Cygne to the revolutionary Le Sourds who seek their destruction; from the Blanchards whose bourgeois respectability offers scant protection against scandal to the hard-working Gascons & their soaring ambitions.
