Book excerpt: A stunning picture book biography about the tightrope walker who dazzled Paris as she danced across the sky with impeccable balance and unparalleled skill during the French Revolution. In revolutionary France, a girl named Marguerite Lalanne longed to perform above large crowds on a tightrope, just like her acrobatic parents. Sneaking off to the fairgrounds for secret tightrope walking lessons, Marguerite finessed her performance skills, ultimately performing for crowds as a young rope dancer. And eventually, Marguerite would perform as Madame Saqui, waltzing and pirouetting across- and never falling off- countless ropes above adoring crowds. A nouvelle chérie de Paris, Madame Saqui cemented her place in circus history, winning the adoration of the French people and royalty alike, including Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. This remarkable biography unveils the inspiring story of a trailblazing woman who revolutionized the circus world-- without ever missing a step.

Book excerpt: Princess Anya, born to the nobility, is viciously attacked on her uncle's estate, a crime that sets in motion whispered rumors that she has been made unmarriable. Refusing to be intimidated by slander and lies, she plots a brilliant counterattack. Confounding society, Anya marries an American diplomat, bringing new blood into the Sviridov family. She stuns the gossips and begins her ascendancy as the Sviridov princess who will rise to every challenge to protect her family against their nemesis, the revolutionary Oleg Ivanov, who once attacked and nearly killed her, and will act out his obsession until one or the other is dead. Against the backdrop of growing unrest in Moscow and St. Petersburg, World War One, and the Revolution, Anya must either prevail or perish. When Oleg kidnaps her son, the die is cast for the end game. Praise: "A lushly detailed historical romance ... Robust!" —Publishers Weekly "A cocktail compounded of all those cordials after which readers thirst." —Robert Elegant, author of Dynasty "Captures the romance and suspense of a thrilling time in history." —Sally Mandel, author of Change of Heart
