Description
Journey to 19th Century Europe
Step back in time to the year 1806, where a new French Empire is emerging after the Reign of Terror. The citizens who once shouted "Death to Kings" now embrace Napoleon and chant "Vive l’Empereur!" as he seeks to consolidate his power. While Paris revels in peace and prosperity, fear grips the rest of Europe as a coalition forms against the ambitious leader.
Hidden Fortunes and Dangerous Plots
Within this tumultuous backdrop, our story unfolds. In Poland, Andre Valiere dreams of completing his conscription and reuniting with his family. However, his plans take a drastic turn when he becomes entangled in a treacherous scheme to seize a hidden fortune. This cache of wealth holds the promise of glory and prosperity for whoever can deliver it to Napoleon, attracting powerful forces who will stop at nothing to claim it.
A Province in Turmoil
Meanwhile, in Normandy, Sophie Valiere struggles to manage her family estate amidst an influx of refugees and simmering tensions with local farmers. As infighting threatens to plunge the province into chaos, an enigmatic Count returns from exile, setting his sights on a new prize.
