Set against the tumult of the War of the Fronde, it chronicles the complex political intrigues and romantic entanglements of notable figures, including the duke and his mistress, amidst the backdrop of civil war in France. The narrative weaves together themes of loyalty, betrayal, and power struggles while introducing a cast of vivid characters that highlight the intricacies of human relationships.
