The French Revolution was a monumental event that shaped the course of world history. And history spares no one, not even kings.
On June 22, 1791, the monarchs fled revolutionary-torn Paris, but the gamble ended in failure: Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were identified in Varennes. Nicolas Le Floche, the police commissioner accompanying the royal couple, became a helpless witness to their arrest. However, his mission was not complete, for he had received a secret order.
It turned out that the queen had made a fatal mistake when leaving the palace: she had left behind a coded letter that needed to be destroyed as soon as possible. Its scandalous contents, even in calm times, could have terribly compromised the couple. Now, if the letter fell into the wrong hands, the consequences for the monarchy would be fatal.
Arriving at the palace, Nicolas realizes the Queen's fears have been confirmed: he was forestalled, the message was stolen, and the cipher clerk was killed. Without a shadow of a doubt, the commissioner and his partner set off on the conspirators' trail, unaware of where the investigation will lead him or how his loyalty to the Crown will be tested.
