| Summary | "Servants of Sin: A Romance" by John Bloundelle-Burton is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book is set during the early 18th century and follows the life of Armand Desparre, a once-poor soldier turned duke, as he navigates love, ambition, and social intrigue in Paris. The central plot revolves around Armand's complex romantic entanglements, particularly with Laure Vauxcelles, whose beauty captivates him, despite potential scandal stemming from her humble origins. The opening of the novel introduces us to Armand Desparre as he reflects on his life and the upcoming New Year, which marks the anniversary of his newly acquired wealth and title. He is found in a luxurious room, juxtaposed against the disarray of his past as a soldier. As he contemplates his love for Laure amidst the winter snow, he receives a letter from the Marquise expressing a desire for their marriage, revealing the tensions between his obligations and his true affections. Shortly after, a visit from the Marquise hints at a deeper, complicated love, as she confronts him about Laure's presence in his life, setting the stage for the emotional conflicts and societal pressures that will unfold throughout the story.
