The novel takes place in France in the 15th century. J. B. Benciоn is a historian, so the portraits of real historical figures and the events that form the basis of the novel are very reliable. The heroine—J. Benziоn herself—Catherine Leguoy appears in the first book as a child.
Then the reader is captivated and kept reading to the last page by the unusual, difficult, yet happy fate of a beautiful woman.
