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. The narrative promises a rich tapestry of romance, friendship, rivalry, and the complex politics of the French monarchy. The opening of the novel introduces the festive atmosphere surrounding the wedding of François d'Epinay de Saint-Luc and Jeanne de Cossé-Brissac amidst the backdrop of the Louvre. Tension permeates the celebration, notably reflected in the king's peculiar demeanor, which raises questions about his true feelings towards the newlyweds. As the night unfolds, the narrative weaves in various characters, including the witty court jester Chicot and the proud Bussy, hinting at future conflicts. The scene concludes with Saint-Luc’s concerns over the king's presence and a sense of foreboding surrounding Bussy's fate, setting the stage for an exploration of honor, loyalty, and treachery in the court's elite.
