The story is set during the turbulent times of the French Wars of Religion, mainly focusing on the lives and intrigues of nobles around the court of King Henri III, particularly the relationships and tensions surrounding characters such as Saint-Luc, his new wife Jeanne de Cossé-Brissac, and the renowned Bussy d'Amboise.
