At the height of its power, the most glorious kingdom in Eighteenth Century Europe
would face a mightier foe … the power of its own people.
One man would rise to inspire the nation to cast aside a reluctant king, and a hated queen;
and a new Republic would be born … in blood! The blood of The French Revolution.
1794 … La Conciergerie prison, an impenetrable fortress in the middle of The River Seine,
dank and rat-infested. it is known as “death’s antechamber.” Inside, the “voice” of a young
nation is about to be silenced. His hair shorn and his neck laid bare for the blade of the
guillotine, Maximilien Robespierre makes ready to pay, for the cataclysm he left in his wake,
the explosion of events that became The French Revolution.
