Fortune de France #6
A historical saga about the fate of the nobleman Pierre de Siorac during the destructive religious wars in France at the end of the 16th century. The story covers the period from 1594, when Henry IV entered Paris as king, to the Edict of Nantes in 1599, which was intended to guarantee religious freedom. Siorac once again undertakes various missions in the service of the king and, upon his return to Paris, begins a long-lasting fight against the Jesuits, who represent a constant threat within the country.
