KORTE INHOUD
Five-year-old Wilky is offered in trade for his father’s debt. The monks collect their due. The monks change Wilky’s name to Regulus before he’s settled in to the monastery.
A former street urchin called Vincent ingratiated himself into Duke Philippe’s household, becoming the apprentice scribe. Vincent has entitlement issues so he decides to blackmail the duke.
Gisa, assistant to her uncle the town apothecary, is forced to work for Lord Sylvain who needs a virgin to assist him.
These three tales are juxtaposed and, eventually, become interwoven after the cast assembles in the same town then, late in the story, they meet. These 3 characters are the primary points of view of the novel; Gisa and Regulus’s tales are told in 3rd person while Vincent’s tale is in the 1st person in a distinctly different voice. At times narration switches to other minor characters.
