Meriol Trevor The children had passed Jeanne during her struggle and got to the bottom of the steps. They saw that Raf's guards were released from the handcuffs and one of them was locking them on his wrists again so that his hands were behind his back, as in the chapel that morning. Julius was standing by his carriage, with his hand on the open door. It was ready to leave, by the open gate. A double row of soldiers were taking up their positions on the gravel sweep, lining up as a firing party with the front row on one knee. Stenken stood at one end to the side of the line, nearest to Rafael. Now Raf's guards left him standing alone on the other side of the gravel. "Oh no, oh no, oh no!" Catherine found she was saying over and over in her anguish. Julius called out, "Now, run for it, le Marre!" Rafael le Marre is in trouble again. His cousin Julius Waldemar has taken over the government, and wants the unconventional Raf out of the way - permanently. Catherine Ayre and her English cousin Giles have come to Lezenstein in the summer of 1849 and find themselves right in the middle of the political upheaval. Giles, not impressed with Raf or Grand Duke Constant, takes Duke Julius' side - to the danger of Raf and the Italian political refugees hidden at the le Marre castle of Xandeln. Julius seems to be in control, and time is running out for Raf and his friends.

The Letzenstein saga continues,
By
This review is from: Angel and Dragon (Letzenstein Chronicles) (Paperback)
In this volume, the third of the Letzenstein Chronicles, Catherine from the first book is back. She is visiting Letzenstein from England with her aunt, uncle, and cousin Giles Hawthorne. They become entangled in all kinds of escapades. Rafael le Marr is constantly trying to help people, while it appears to others that he is involved in revolutionary activities against the government. Catherine tries to help, and Giles, who doesn't think much of Rafael, Grand Duke Constant or Letzenstein, is giving slanted reports of their actions to his parents and Duke Julius. Duke Julius ends up seizing power, Con is abducted, murder is attempted, and Rafael faces the firing squad. In all this, Giles undergoes a serious change of heart, and of course, everything turns out all right. After all "The Rose and Crown", not "Angel and Dragon" is the last of the Letzenstein Chronicles!
