In the twilight where Christianity sinks, the black queen contemplates the debris of the kingdom. From the top of the towers of the Old Louvre, she observes the blazes that glow in the falling night. The army of Princes, the army of the great Calvinist aristocrats, is encircling the capital. The troops are setting fire to the suburbs. At the same time, tortuous alleys of the besieged city are mounting the discordant lament of the massacres. The Catholic rabble stormed the homes of the Parisian Huguenots, dragging martyred bodies towards the Seine. There is no worse conflict than a civil war.
The Black Queen is tragically aware of this. Against the war, she will lead her own struggle, with all the weapons of power, and also with others. Spadassins, mercenaries, courtesans, magicians, poisons, corruption and blackmail. And for this, the Black Queen will need bold agents. Fighters, diplomats, schemers... Exceptional men and women. True adventurers. Embody one of these adventurers: a gentleman of old nobility, a routed courtesan, a mercenary officer, a disillusioned humanist, an emancipated poetess, a prince of the church or a Calvinist preacher, plunge into the whirlwind of the wars of religion. Survive the intrigues of the court, scrap in the duels of the cute, mugue with the gallant ladies, fight in the wild melee of Jarnac and Moncontour, unmask the spies of the queen of England and the king of Spain, track down the child killer who panics Paris on the eve of August 24, 1572...
