During the 17th century, orphaned children had little chance of rising above poverty, with most doomed to lives of hardship or servitude. But what if one child defied fate?

From orphan to nobleman… but at what cost?
Pierre de Beauvoir was never meant to be a Marquis. Plucked from obscurity, he steps into a world of opulence and treachery, where secrets lie buried within the walls of Montrésor Castle.
