About this book
A young theology student reaches Geneva just before its gates close in 1602. Claude Mercier arrives full of hope, eager to study in a city he regards as a stronghold of faith, learning and freedom. Stanley John Weyman's historical novel places that confidence beside the city's anxious vigilance: war with Savoy has recently ended, but its nearby frontier keeps guards and citizens alert.
The story also brings public authority into contact with private fear. The wealthy Syndic Blondel tells Anne that a single dose of a supposed universal remedy could save his failing life. He believes Basterga holds it for the Grand Duke, and his urgency leaves Anne struggling to judge his claims.
