A notorious duellist is handed a commission that may demand more than skill with a sword. Gil de Berault, an impoverished but well-born French nobleman known as the Black Death, must act under Cardinal Richelieu's written authority to locate and capture an exiled political conspirator. Told in Berault's own voice, the mission draws him into a dangerous contest between obedience and conscience, where official power offers no simple measure of honour. Beyond the political tensions of Paris lies a world of wooded countryside, aristocratic estates and mountain passes near the Spanish frontier. Espionage, disguise and pursuit shape a historical adventure in which imprisonment and armed encounters are inseparable from questions of loyalty and betrayal. Berault may be an accomplished swordsman and gambler, but coercive authority forces him to confront the difference between carrying out an order and acting honourably. Mademoiselle de Cocheforêt's moral judgement unsettles the identity Berault has built around reputation, violence and service, bringing romantic tension into the intrigue without displacing its ethical conflict. His first-person account keeps every danger close while exposing the self-examination beneath the duels and deception. Political calculation, aristocratic romance and the possibility of mercy converge in a French historical adventure concerned not only with what a man is commanded to do, but with what he can answer for. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations.
