Gil de Berault, a gambler and swordsman of evil reputation, is caught breaking Richelieu’s edict against duelling and spared on one condition: he must ride to a remote château in the south and bring back a hunted Huguenot conspirator. He finds there only the man’s wife and sister, and his mission begins to cost him more than he expected.
