The night air in Menda was sweet with orange blossoms, yet it concealed a massacre. After a Spanish uprising wipes out his garrison, young officer Victor Marchand escapes solely through the mercy of Clara de Léganès. But when the French General retakes the château, his retaliation is terrifyingly creative. He offers the captured family a single, cruel path to preserving their line: the eldest son may keep his life and title, provided he agrees to serve as the executioner for the rest of his kin.
