De hoofdpersoon wordt door de Duitsers gefolterd, verliest zijn linkerhand en verraadt zijn vriend. Na de oorlog blijft deze verminking hem herinneren aan zijn verraad en drijft hem in een isolement met schuldgevoelens.

"Saint Bartholomew's Day 1572. Paris is awash with the blood of Huguenots slaughtered by order of Charles IX. Or perhaps of Catherine de Medicis, one of history's greatest monsters? Or the ambitious Duke de Guise? Or the Duke d'Anjou, soon to be the reluctant King of Poland? It takes an iron nerve and a cool head to survive. Young Henry of Navarre has both in abundance, but he has more: he has his Queen, the beautiful, cultured Margot who stakes all on love and remains defiant in defeat."--Cover
