Francis and Mary are now the rulers of France, and their country is quickly falling into chaos. Protests and Catholics are ready to go to war, grain is running low, Louis Conde is ready to invade the castle and take the throne as France's first Protestant king, and the secrets at court have never been as deadly. Francis is desperate to win over General Renaud's army to aid him in the battle against Lord Conde, but Renaud's loyalty begins wavering when Conde offers him twice the amount of Francis and Mary. As a last resort, Francis offers Renaud the one thing that Conde cannot: Princess Claire, Francis' youngest sister.
