Number 187 ebook

Number 187 is a chilling tale of suspense and human fragility, set during the French Revolution when lives were reduced to mere numbers on execution lists. In this short but powerful story, Baroness Orczy paints a haunting picture of an aristocrat condemned to die under the blade of the guillotine. Through desperation, courage, and the faintest spark of hope, the prisoner's fate unfolds with heart-stopping tension. With its blend of atmosphere, drama, and moral weight, Number 187 encapsulates the terror of the Revolution and the resilience of the human spirit, standing as a sharp, emotional precursor to Orczy's later Scarlet Pimpernel adventures.
