A historical novel set in late 16th-century France. The narrative unfolds amidst the intricate politics of King Henri III's court, focusing on the character of Chicot, a witty and unconventional jester, who provides not just comic relief but also poignant insights into the human condition, court intrigues, and the nature of power and deception. The story begins with the wedding festivities of François d'Epinay de St. Luc, highlighting the tension between the king and his subjects, exposing the underlying animosities and rivalries that permeate the royal court. At the start of the tale, festivities at the Hôtel Montmorency are overshadowed by the king’s evident displeasure, particularly toward St. Luc and the delicate political balance around them. As the narrative progresses, we witness a mix of comedic and serious moments involving Chicot's interactions with the king and other noblemen, whose rivalries lead to both social entertainment and sinister undercurrents. With the introduction of the Duc d'Anjou and the involvement of other court figures, the stage is set for dramatic tensions that could erupt into conflict at any moment. St. Luc, along with his new wife, is caught amid the king's whims and the dangerous political atmosphere, establishing a captivating context for the ensuing events and character dynamics.
