The story is set during the turbulent times surrounding the July Revolution of 1830 in France, focusing on the life of M. de Kardigân, a devoted royalist and his family as they navigate the dangers and moral complexities of political upheaval. Central to the narrative is the loyal servant Aubin Ploguen and the impact of therevolution on the marquis's children, particularly as their fates intertwine with the political loyalties of their father. The opening of the novel introduces us to the marquis de Kardigân and his servant Aubin Ploguen, who are riding with great urgency towards Paris, where turmoil is brewing. As they approach the city, the narrative foreshadows the challenges they will face amid escalating tensions and revolutionary fervor.
