London is rife with impoverished French nobility who have escaped the horror of the French revolution. Quentin de Morlaix, sympathetic to these disenfranchised aristocrats, finds that he too has his own personal reasons to pray for an end to the Revolution. He sets off for France, and enters a life of confusion, mystery, and bloody execution.
