Impériale. The hidden woman soldier
The plain is shattered by a cannon shot at dawn. Across the beaten earth, horses gallop. As a 21-year-old woman, Eva wants to join the Imperial Guard, a Napoleonic regiment of historical re-enactment reserved for men.
She hides her identity so that she can ride in the stirrup, defying a 200-year-old ban. Eva discovers herself in the world of gunpowder and smoke as she has always dreamed: a handsome soldier beside a beautiful princess.
