August 1572. France is torn by a religious war. To restore the world in the country, the beautiful and proud Princess Margot, the sister of the Catholic king Charles IX, should marry Protestant Henry of Navarre. And after the wedding, there was a bloody massacre of Bartholomew’s night, organized by cruel and insidious Catherine Medici. Thousands of Protestants died, and one of them, a seriously wounded nobleman named La Mol, knocked on the door of Margot in a desperate attempt to save his life.
