 Brutal Attack. A Vanished Family. 

A Man Left for Dead in the Shadows of 17th-Century France.

Pierre, Marquis de Beauvoir, Duke of Hertford, never expected the peaceful countryside of Montrésor to turn into a battlefield. A simple picnic on the banks of the Loire transforms into a nightmare when his family is ambushed. Left for dead, he awakens to a cruel reality—his wife and son have vanished without a trace.

Determined to uncover the truth, Pierre embarks on a relentless pursuit across France and England, a land torn between old loyalties and the rise of a new Puritan power. With only his most trusted allies, François and Armand, by his side, he must navigate a dangerous web of treachery, deception, and political intrigue.

But Pierre is not the only one searching. A ruthless enemy, desperate to erase the past and claim a future that isn’t his, will stop at nothing to take everything Pierre holds dear. Time is running out, and every move he makes brings him closer to the truth—or to his downfall.

A sweeping tale of revenge, honour, and survival set in the tumultuous courts of 17th-century France and England.
