These Old Shades
Georgette Heyer
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Under the reign of Louis XV, corruption and intrigue have been allowed to blossom in France, and Justin Alastair, the notorious Duke of Avon who is clearly proud of his moniker 'Satanas', flourishes as well. Then, from a dark Parisian back alley, he plucks Leon, a red-headed urchin with strangely familiar looks, just in time for his long overdue schemes of revenge on the Comte de St. Vire. Among the splendours of Versailles and the dignified mansions of England, Justin begins to unfold his sinister plans - until, that is, Leon becomes the ravishing beauty Leonie ...Yet again Georgette Heyer shows the qualities that made her one of the most successful and best-loved romantic novelists of her age and ensure her enduring popularity today.
