In this thrilling tale of the elusive Hope Diamond’s journey across Europe during the French Revolution, two sisters deliver a mysterious package to the Rooster of Rennes and discover along the way that life is not as predictable as they once believed.

Eighteen-year-old Claudie Durand’s future is planned. She’ll take over the family inn, watch her much prettier younger sister, Mathilde, married off to the butcher’s son, and live out her days alone, without the hope of finding a love of her own. Her mother ran off to the cloister when she was young, and her gruff, abusive father has deemed her unmarriageable, a nuisance, and only good for hard labor.

But outside their small village in Brittany, a revolution is brewing. When the Army of the Republic seizes their town, and Claudie finds herself at the center of the conspiracy, she and Mathilde must flee their sheltered life and take up a cause that, up till now, had always seemed like a distant conflict. As the sisters carry out a dangerous mission for the resistance—delivering a precious item to the mysterious Rooster of Rennes—Claudie’s conscience is torn between the longing to return to her predictable, lonely existence and the desire to carve out a new future, reaching for the life and love she never dared dream of but knew deep down she truly deserved.
