Master at Arms [UK: Marquis of Carabas] |
| The French Revolution is at its height, Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety at their bloodiest, London is crowded with impoverished French émigré mobility when Quentin de Morlaix becomes involved in the efforts of the Marquis de Puisaye to raise in England the Royal and Catholic Army which will sail to France, join the Chouans, overwhelm the Republic and restore the monarchy. The restoration of the monarchy is not Quentin's only interest. As London's finest Master at Arms he discovers he is heir to the French Marquisate of Chavaray. Spurred on by his love for Germaine de Chesnieres and the persuasions of de Puisaye he sets off for France to reclaim his title. Even before his arrival he is aware of the hostility of the Chesnieres family, who had thought themselves heirs to the Marquisate, and Quentin finds himself in danger of his life amongst the war, confusion and intrigue of the Revolutioon, and of the Chesnieres. |
