The story unfolds in the tumultuous backdrop of 15th-century Brittany amid the conflicts with France. The main character, Gwennola, is a compassionate young lady who finds herself caught in a dilemma between her duty to her family and her moral compass when a wounded French knight, Henri d’Estrailles, is accused of espionage and murder. At the start of the narrative, we meet a hunting party on the brink of judgment regarding an unconscious man who has fallen from his horse. Gwennola argues that the injured man cannot be a spy, and she urges for compassion, demonstrating her instinct for justice. As the plot progresses, it is revealed that Henri d’Estrailles, although injured, is a complex character with a dangerous past linked to the death of Gwennola's brother. Torn between her betrothal to the viper-like Guillaume de Coray and her growing feelings for Henri, Gwennola must navigate through treachery, fear, and love, all while trying to save an innocent life. The opening sets a stage rich with intrigue, honor, and the challenges faced by a young woman in a divided land, making it clear that this tale will be one of chivalry, romance, and moral dilemmas.
