Following the cloak-and-dagger exploits of The Duke and Duchess of Wessex, Leopard in Exile is a fabulous adventure. In this world, one fascinatingly different yet tantalizingly similar to our own, there's no United States and conflicts between nations are sparked by politics, religion, and magic.Napoleon's march across Europe is aided and abetted by the Marquis de Sade, a black magician who will use any means, fair or foul, to eliminate the rightful king and queen of France. Defending the royals are the Duke and Duchess of Wessex, spies, magicians, and romantics bound to each other by ancient pledges and modern love.
