In the chaos of the French Revolution, Charles Darnay must return to Paris to save his servant, risking his own life. Captured and facing execution, his fate may rest in the hands of Sydney Carton, a man who shares his likeness but not his character. As love and loyalty intertwine, will Carton's resemblance be enough to alter Darnay's destiny? Discover the gripping tale of sacrifice and identity where two men's lives are forever linked by a single, daring gamble.

From the publisher

Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton are alike in appearance, different in character and in love with the same woman. In the midst of the French Revolution, Darnay, who has fled to London to escape the cruelty of the French nobility, must return to Paris to rescue his servant from death. But he endangers his own life and is captured. Carton may be able to help, but will his resemblance be enough to save Darnay’s life? With an enticing introduction by bestselling author, Roddy Doyle.
