Wie gern wäre Pierre-Emmanuel de Siorac, nach den entbehrungsreichen Monaten im Feldlager auf der Insel Ré, mal wieder auf sein Gut Orbieu geritten, um ein heißes Bad und die zärtlichen Arme seiner Louison zu genießen - aber Urlaub gewährt Ludwig nicht. Denn die Hugenotten von La Rochelle haben dem König den Krieg erklärt und warten auf die englische Flotte, den großen protestantischen Verbündeten. Ihre trotzige Sicherheit gewinnen sie aus der Überzeugung, daß die hochbefestigte Zitadelle durch ihre weite Öffnung zum Meer für die nur von der Landseite her belagernden königlichen Truppen uneinnehmbar ist. Richelieu aber, des Königs Minister, betreibt fieberhaft den Aufbau einer französischen Flotte und faßt den verwegenen Plan, mit einer gewaltigen Palisade mitten durchs Meer die weite Bucht vor La Rochelle zu verschließen ... Erzählt wird die Geschichte dreier Generationen der Adelsfamilie Siorac während des dramatischen Jahrhunderts von 1550 bis 1643, das erschüttert wurde von blutigen Glaubenskriegen zwischen Katholiken und Protestanten und den Kämpfen für ein starkes französisches Königtum.
