Anne de Caylus and his younger brothers Marie and Croisette, Huguenot boys from the south of France, travel to Paris in August 1572 to plead against the menacing Vidame de Bezers. They arrive just as the city prepares the slaughter of St. Bartholomew’s night, and must survive by nerve, swordplay and loyalty to one another.
