Plot
My book is titled The Silver Blade. This is its over all plot.

This book is mostly about Yannick Margoza and what he experiences during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. From the start Yann tells you he is deeply in love with Sido de Villeduval. Sadly in their world though their love is not meant to be but they both persevere. Yann’s undercover job is to rescue aristocrats from to guillotine and get them safely on their way to England, he is sometimes known as the Silver Blade. He does this with the Duc de Bourcy’s family. To the rest of the world, though, Yann is the star in the show The Harlequinade that appears at the Circus of Follies. He and his costars all know about his undercover work and believe in the same things Yann does. Count Kalliovski is the “bad guy” in the book and has a master plan that involves the key to Yann’s soul. Sadly Yann finds out that this awful count is his father, but when someone he knows is in trouble Yann rises to the occasion and comes up with a plan to rescue her. Yann rescues her without a problem and then comes back to the Circus. Not long after Sido is capture by Kalliovski and Yann gets the news that she’s dead. After that he and his fellow employees at the Circus get arrested because one of them is thought to be the Silver Blade. While in jail Yann realizes that Sido might not be dead but right then he gets captured by Kalliovski. Yann easily defeats him and gets Sido back but then he has to go rescue his friends from jail. After that the Reign of Terror ends but Yann still has to go and avenges one of his friend’s deaths. Only once all of that is over he finally gets his happily ever after with Sido. Great Detail 10/10

Revolution Theme Connection
Throughout this book there are mentions of things that happened throughout the French Revolution. There is a mention of the September Massacre and people who are part of the Paris Commune. There are also mentions of the Committee of Public Safety and Robespierre. Georges Danton is also mentioned when he is killed. Sans-culottes are also mentioned a lot as some of the characters have to deal with them sometimes. The day Robespierre dies is a whole chapter in this book because it is such an important landmark for the characters. The things we have learned in our history class are very evident in The Silver Blade mostly because the characters consider themselves the children of the Revolution. Exactly what I was looking for 25/25
