June 1572 marks a tumultuous period in France, where ten years of violent Wars of Religion have pitted neighbors against each other, resulting in immense loss and division over religion and sovereignty. A fragile peace is on the horizon, thanks to a royal wedding orchestrated by Catherine de' Medici and Jeanne d'Albret, uniting the Catholic Crown with Henri, the Huguenot king of Navarre. This marriage has the potential to reunite the fractured nation. Minou Joubert and her family receive an invitation to attend the historic wedding in Paris, unaware that their family's oldest enemy, Vidal, will also be present.
