When the pirate strokes the hilt of his sword and looks sideways at the Parisian thief standing next to him, the judge understands: the time for doubt is over forever. Angioy, a revolutionary heart under the robe of a magistrate in the service of the Savoy, is ready to sacrifice everything to free the Sardinian people from starvation. After the decision he is about to make, he knows that his life will never be the same again. Hitherto loyal to the Viceroy and the monarchy, the judge clenches his fists and sighs. He sees his future. As a Jacobin conspirator wanted like a ruthless pirate, he will be hunted down by the thugs of the Kingdom of Sardinia he is about to fight. But is this what he wants? Is immolating oneself for a noble ideal the right thing to do? He reflects he is not alone. The men and women around him have also made choices without return, like the prostitute with a rebellious soul Antea, or the Maltese Delbac and his friend Julien de Barras, French spies with a dark past: the first, a pirate in the Caribbean Sea, the second, a talented pickpocket at the Court of miracles in Paris. Trained to kill, the two agents are at his side to instruct and guide him. But Cagliari is brimming with spies and adventurers, disgruntled bourgeois, false friends ready to betray and armed men in the pay of brutal demagogues. And all of them, in the summer of 1795, are about to unleash together with Angioy a challenge to the death for freedom. One can only be a hero for a day, but it is enough to remain immortal..
