Feared and hated by the crowned heads of Europe, the brilliant Corsican, who rose from daring young general to Emperor of the French, found himself desperately in love with a beautiful and promiscuous Creole woman. Cynical at first, she came to adore him, as he adored her.
Set against a sweeping background of intrigue, terror and war,
this is the story of loyalty, betrayal, and tempestuous love.
