Summary: "Minä tahdon kostaa" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the tumultuous backdrop of the French Revolution, the story revolves around themes of vengeance and honor as characters navigate the complexities of love and social standing during a time of great societal upheaval. The main characters include Paul Déroulède, a gentleman entangled in a duel over a woman's honor, and Juliette de Marny, who is driven by a vow to avenge her brother’s death. The opening of the book introduces a pivotal duel scene in Paris in 1783, where young Count de Marny confronts Paul Déroulède after a perceived slight against a woman they both admire.

As the duel progresses, Déroulède accidentally kills de Marny, setting in motion a tragic series of events that intertwine the fates of both families.
