The Altar of Hate

In the Reign of Terror, a boy must choose between executing his parents or becoming a headsman's assistant, but revenge burns through the generations and brings a new head for his own son, who has married the daughter of the man who long ago almost killed him.

During France's bloody revolution, a young man faces an impossible choice: kill his own mother and father or work for the executioner, but years later his thirst for payback comes full circle when his son marries the daughter of the man who once tried to murder him.
