The narrative is set in Geneva during the year 1602, a time marked by political tension and cultural transformation, particularly surrounding the Reformed religion. The story centers on Claude Mercier, a young theology student arriving in Geneva, filled with romantic notions of learning and freedom, only to find himself entangled in a complex web of conflict, honor, and intrigue that will test his ideals and courage. At the start of the novel, Mercier finds himself at the Porte St. Gervais, just as the gates of Geneva are about to close for the night. He manages to slip into the city just in time, drawn to the promise of studying under the esteemed Theodore Beza. As he explores the city, his enthusiasm is briefly overshadowed by an incident at a tavern involving a drunken soldier named Messer Grio, which nearly lands him in jail. Despite this unsettling experience, Mercier is determined to pursue his studies and secure a place to stay. His encounters reveal the underlying tensions within the city, hinting at the struggles for power, personal honor, and social dynamics that characterize Geneva's society, setting the stage for the conflicts to come in his journey.
