Amid the chaos surrounding Henry V's attempts to take the throne of France, Louise Saulnier and her fellow Frenchmen are forced into wild living by the English.
Stripped of the protection of her family's wealth, Louise survives under the guise of a young boy, Louis, and manages to escape the atrocities against women that she has witnessed.
But danger never wanders far and soon it is her own sister Marguerite who is taken by the foreign men.
With only the face of the abductor etched into her memory, Louise risks everything to rescue her sister.
When it appears that this very man and his brother is the only key to her success, Louise faces a terrible choice: give in to the Englishmen and betray her beloved Northern France, or lose Marguerite.
Flitting between her two identities, Louise crosses boundaries both of land and sea and of the heart.
She ventures into new territories and is not only swept up into the clash of the two countries, but also of the two brothers...
