The First Sir Percy
by Baroness Orczy
“Long before the legend was born, the Blakeney legacy was forged in the fires of revolution.”
Before the Scarlet Pimpernel outwitted the French Revolution, his legendary ancestor Diogenes led a daring rebellion against the iron-fisted rule of the Dutch Stadtholder. This swashbuckling historical adventure follows a band of loyal followers risking everything for freedom in a world of high-stakes political intrigue and narrow escapes.
