De la mort de François Ier en 1547 à l'édit de Nantes en 1599, la France s'enlise dans l'épreuve des guerres de Religion. C'est dans ce pays dévasté, en proie à la misère, au brigandage, à la peste, à la haine, que grandit le jeune Pierre de Siorac, rejeton d'une noble famille périgourdine et huguenote, héros et narrateur du roman.
C'est toute une époque qui revit à travers l'histoire des Siorac, avec ses paysans, ses princes, ses hommes d'épée ou d'Église, ses truculences et ses cruautés; sa langue, aussi, savoureuse, colorée, merveilleusement restituée au lecteur d'aujourd'hui.
Époque où peu à peu va naître une exigence de tolérance et de paix, en écho au cri d'indignation et d'espoir de Michel de l'Hospital: « Ne verra-t-on la Fortune de France relevée ? »
