The story unfolds against the backdrop of the tumultuous events during the Directoire period in France, focusing on the extraordinary characters and occurrences surrounding the conquest of Naples. The narrative hints at various historical figures and the main character, San-Felice, whose tragic fate ties into the complex political and social dynamics of the time. The opening of the book sets the stage in Naples on a splendid September day in 1798. We are introduced to the lively atmosphere as a royal galley, commanded by Admiral Francesco Caracciolo, sets sail, transporting notable figures including King Ferdinand IV and Queen Marie-Caroline. The narrative hints at various intertwined plots, including the influence of English naval officer Horatio Nelson and the impending challenges faced by the monarchy amidst revolutionary fervor.
