About this eBook

Author Zévaco, Michel, 1860-1918
Title Les Pardaillan — Tome 01
Credits Produced by Renald Levesque
Summary "Les Pardaillan — Tome 01" by Michel Zévaco is a historical novel set in the mid-16th century, likely during the reign of King Francis I of France. The narrative introduces the tragic tale of the de Piennes family, focusing on the seigneur de Piennes, who faces misfortune and despair, and his daughter Jeanne, whose romantic entanglement with François de Montmorency becomes the impetus for deepening familial conflicts and betrayals. The opening of the novel introduces a somber scene in the modest home of the seigneur de Piennes, who is lamenting his loss of status and the uncertainty surrounding his daughter's future. As he grapples with a dire message from the bailli of Montmorency regarding the loss of their home, the story shifts to Jeanne, who is revealed to be in love with François de Montmorency, the son of the very family responsible for her father's plight. Amidst springs of hope and echoes of despair, the narrative hints at budding secrets and looming dangers as Joan navigates the complexities of love entangled with familial politics, setting the stage for a tragic interplay of love, betrayal, and the quest for redemption.
