The story unfolds during a time of political turmoil in France, exploring the lives of characters embroiled in courtly intrigue and the clash of religious factions. Central to the narrative is Count Hannibal de Tavannes, whose complex relationships and ambitions set the stage for a tale filled with romance, danger, and betrayal. The opening of the novel introduces us to a tense scene at the Court of France, where Count Hannibal interacts with Mademoiselle, a young woman feeling out of place and vulnerable in the royal setting. Moments of awkwardness and discomfort highlight her anxieties, particularly as she navigates the unwanted advances of Count Tavannes, who represents an imminent threat.
