The Companions of Jehu Book 2: A New Translation

In the shadow of revolution, honor and love collide on the roads of France.The year is 1800. Napoleon Bonaparte's star is rising, but in the mountains of Burgundy, a band of daring royalist rebels wages a secret war against the new Republic. Known as the Companions of Jehu, these masked highwaymen rob government stagecoaches by moonlight, funding the counter-revolutionary cause with stolen gold-and risking the guillotine with every raid.When young Roland de Montrevel, one of Napoleon's most promising officers, is dispatched to crush the rebellion, he never expects to befriend the very men he's sworn to capture. Nor does he anticipate falling desperately in love with Amélie de Montesson, whose own brother leads the Companions. Caught between duty and friendship, between his future and his heart, Roland must navigate a world where yesterday's heroes are today's outlaws-and where a single choice could cost him everything.From the master of historical adventure comes a sweeping tale of passion, loyalty, and the impossible choices that define us. Filled with Dumas's signature blend of romance, intrigue, and breathtaking action, The Companions of Jehu brings post-Revolutionary France to vivid life in all its danger and splendor.
