March 1814. The allied armies of Russia, Austria and Prussia are advancing on Paris, which could fall to occupying forces for the first time in 400 years.
Following the murder of one of the colonels charged with defending the city, Joseph Bonaparte orders Major Quentin Margont to conduct a secret investigation into the death.
A royalist emblem used by a group of monarchist conspirators has been found on the victim's horribly burned corpse; taking his life in his hands, Margont must now assume a false aristocratic identity in order to infiltrate the plotters.
And as his hunt for the killer progresses, the Major uncovers a personal obsession for revenge which threatens to engulf the fate of Paris itself ...
