Mam’zelle Guillotine follows Gabrielle Damiens, the daughter of Francois Damiens, a man arrested and executed for attacking the King of France with a pocket knife. When the French Revolution begins she is released from the Bastille after 16 years in prison. Mad for revenge, Gabrielle works her way into the favor of the men behind the republic, and soon becomes the public executioner of Artois, known as Mam’zelle Guillotine. When a new sleuth from Paris arrives to track down the English spies who want to stop her, Gabrielle doesn’t realize it is actually the Scarlet Pimpernel.
