On the coast of Provence, where the mistral blows and watchmen scan the sea for Barbary corsairs, a knight-commander of the Order of Malta keeps guard over his family and neighbours. A betrothal, the beautiful Stephanette, a man scarred by captivity in Barbary and the constant threat of the corsairs bring the old wars of the Mediterranean to their doors.
