Set in a fictionalized 13th-century France, the story follows Florian, Duke of Puysange, a disgraced nobleman with a secret longing for Melior, the daughter of King Helmas. Known for his dishonor and destructive nature, Florian struggles with his unfulfilled desires and the mystical Forest of Acaire. When a mysterious figure offers him a chance, he embarks on a quest to win Melior's heart. Blending fantasy and adventure, Cabell's work explores timeless themes of power and gender dynamics, making it relevant for contemporary readers.
