The winds of change are blowing through Paris in the wintertime of 1789, both for France as well as for our hero, a stunning and secret Gypsy boy named Yann Margoza. He was created with a gift for knowing what folks are thinking and an uncanny capability to toss his voice, and he has been using those skills while working for a rather foolish magician. That work will soon end, however, and on the night of the magician’s last performance, Yann’s existence will truly begin. That’s the night he meets shy Sido, an heiress using a cold-hearted dad, a young young lady who has only known loneliness as yet. Though they possess the shortest of discussions, an attachment is born that will influence both their paths.

And what paths those will be! While Revolution is certainly afoot in France, Sido is being used as the pawn of a fearful villain who goes by the name Count Kalliovski. Some possess instead known as him the devil, and only Yann, for Sido’s sake, will dare to oppose him.
