Summary
The night his wife dies giving birth to his son Aurèle, the
Count Savinien de Kerfadec adopts an abandoned baby girl, which he
names Céline. A short while later, he takes in another
boy, Tarquin. As the years pass, Aurèle and Tarquin become
enemies, rivals for the affection of their beloved
Céline. It is 1793 and revolutionary France is in
the grip of the Terror. In the Breton countryside, the
revolutionaries are waging a bloody war against the old regime, the
Monarchy and the Church, who are supported by the Chouans, the peasant
class. Tarquin throws himself wholeheartedly into
supporting the republican cause, but his zeal drives Céline into
the arms of his rival Aurèle...
