'Tilly visualised the ruby pendant, recreating its crimson fire. She felt herself diving into that pool of colour . . . down into a deep, vivid dream.'
Tilly falls asleep wishing she could escape to a more adventurous life. In 1789, Amelie-Mathilde is living in luxury at the Palace of Versailles - but her guardians want her to marry the horrible Chevalier. She falls asleep wishing someone would rescue her.
Tilly wakes up beside Amelie-Mathilde. The timing couldn't be worse. Starving peasants are rioting and the palace is in chaos.
