Adrift in a strange land, surrounded by cold and suspicious relatives who had disowned her mother on her wedding day, Francesca is determined to make the best of a bad situation. But nothing could have prepared her for the nest of dark secrets and oppressive cruelty she has been cast into. And her fate now rests in the hands of a mysterious horseman known as the Falcon, whose appearance will speed her salvation ... or hasten her doom.

Politics, War, Gothic, Humor, Romance = Perfect Blend
This has to be one of the best thriller/historical novel I've read so far. The suspense of this novel is great. This novel can make an epic Movie.
The story is set in 1860. The narrator Francesa who lives in England is a recent orphan and alone in the world when her mother's rich royal family from Italy comes to her rescue. Italy is in middle of a revolution by peasants against the tyrant rulers. A disguised hero named Falcon is helping peasants and fights against the tyrant soldiers. It soon becomes clear that the "falcon" person is closer to Francesa's family and may be a person from the family itself.
Now let me dissect the book fr you - A sarcastic heroine, a sulky grumpy hero, a crazy grandpa, a secret spy governess, few eccentric family members and few more mentally challenged characters. The solution is extremely hilarious. Few of Francesca's line made me LOL. Barbara Michael's is a genius.
This book is all- an adventure novel, a thriller, historical novel, political novel, gothic novel, & romance novel.
Few novels manage to balance so many genres perfectly. This is one of them. Shame there isnt more novels like this out there.
