In A DROP OF NIGHT, Stefan Bachmann's latest work, readers are introduced to a young girl named Anouak. Anouk, along with four other gifted teens, has received the opportunity to fly to France and help investigate a newly found underground palace that will be huge news for the history community.

Seventeen-year-old Anouk has been selected out of hundreds of other candidates to fly to France and help with the excavation of a vast, underground palace buried a hundred feet below the suburbs of Paris. Built in the 1780's to hide an aristocratic family and a mad duke during the French Revolution, the palace has lain hidden and forgotten ever since. Anouk, along with several other gifted teenagers, will be the first to set foot in it in over two centuries --- or so she thought. But nothing is as it seems, and the teens soon find themselves trapped in a game far more sinister, and dangerous, than they could possibly have imagined.
