The story unfolds in the context of early 16th-century France, set against the backdrop of the imposing and storied Louvre Palace which serves various roles, from residence to fortress. The novel mixes history and intrigue, diving into the lives and struggles of its characters amid the political turmoil of the time. Among them, the readers encounter key figures such as Louise de Savoie, the regent, and Triboulet, the royal fool, as they navigate the murky waters of power, loyalty, and possible supernatural occurrences. At the start of the book, the atmosphere is somber, reflecting the tumult of the year 1525. Following a series of misfortunes, including the death of the queen and France's military defeats, Louise de Savoie finds herself in the gloomy setting of the Louvre, replaced by the past's splendor. The narrative introduces Triboulet, who lightens the bleak court with humor, but also introduces a mysterious tale of a ghostly apparition that stirs curiosity and fear among the court members. As Triboulet recounts his spectral encounter, the tension within the palace rises, driven by power struggles and political intrigue, and hints at the darker secrets the Louvre holds, setting the stage for a gripping exploration of the past intertwined with a supernatural element.
