The story follows Master-Gunner Peyrol, a seasoned and reticent sea captain who returns to his native France after decades of lawless life at sea, amidst the chaotic backdrop of the French Revolution. As Peyrol attempts to establish a quiet existence on shore, he grapples with his past and the values of a country forever changed by revolutionary fervor. The opening of the novel introduces Peyrol as he arrives in the Port of Toulon with a damaged ship. He experiences a mix of detachment and curiosity as he navigates the bustling quay filled with revolutionary fervor, where he is recognized as a figure of intrigue and wonder. The narrative reveals his internal conflict—his past as a "Brother of the Coast" is steeped in lawlessness, and yet he seeks a peaceful life away from the sea. As he prepares to go ashore, Peyrol reflects on a long and tumultuous journey, highlighting both his nostalgia for his childhood and the heavy burden of his unsavory past. This blend of character exploration, historical context, and the quest for identity establishes a rich foundation for the unfolding drama in the rest of the novel.
