The story revolves around Bernard de Rohan, a young nobleman and soldier who experiences a mix of joy and sorrow as he navigates life during the turbulent period of the 16th century, amidst themes of chivalry, romance, and adventure. Set in the picturesque landscape of Savoy and featuring a cast of intriguing characters, including the enigmatic brigand Corse de Leon, the narrative promises an exploration of love, honor, and the moral complexities of its time. The opening of the novel sets a contemplative tone, reflecting on the fleeting nature of happiness and the inevitability of sorrow. It introduces the main character, Bernard de Rohan, who, after a bright day of riding through the lush valleys and majestic mountains, begins to feel an inexplicable gloom overshadowing his spirit.
