Heads will roll!
Paris, France: a city of fashion, chocolate croissants, and cute boys. Colette Iselin is thrilled to be there for the first time, on her spring break class trip. But a series of gruesome murders are taking place around the city, putting everyone on edge. And as she tours the sights, Colette keeps seeing a strange vision: a pale woman in a ball gown and powdered wig, who looks like Marie Antoinette. Colette knows her status-obsessed friends won't believe her, so she seeks out the help of a charming French boy. Together, they discover that the murder victims are all descendants of people who ultimately brought about Marie Antoinette's beheading. The queen's ghost has been awakened, and now she's wreaking her bloodthirsty revenge. And Colette may just be one of those descendants...which means she might not make it out of this trip alive.
Acclaimed author Katie Alender brings heart-stopping suspense to this story of betrayal, glamour, mystery, history—and one killer queen.

Then something caught my attention, at the corner of my eye - movement. A flash of pale colors moving in the shadows.
I spun around.
She was there. The woman - the ghost. The width of her skirt blocked the path in front of me completely. In the low light, it was obvious that she gave off a pale blue glow of her own, a light that seemed to undulate through her.
"Go away!" I said, as if she were a stray cat. "Go! Leave me alone!"
A ripple seemed to move through her form, causing her glow to sputter and spark. I got the distinct impression that I'd made her angry.
"Please," I said. "Please move. Let me go."
Finally, she moved -
Toward me.
