France, 1825. The Revolution is over, the monarchy has returned—and the old aristocracy is reclaiming its place.
In the province of La Marche, the exiled Count de Fougères returns to restore his ancestral château and revive the privileges of a world many believed had disappeared forever.
Among those determined to resist him is Simon Féline, a young lawyer raised by a fiercely republican mother. Intelligent, proud, and convinced that birth should grant no man authority over another, Simon has little sympathy for aristocrats or the society they represent.
Then he meets the Count’s daughter, Fiamma.
Independent, passionate, and far less conventional than Simon expects, Fiamma challenges everything he believes about the divide between noble and commoner. As attraction grows between them, political conviction collides with personal desire, forcing both to confront the prejudices of their families, their class, and themselves.
Set against the uneasy aftermath of revolution and empire, Simon is George Sand’s compelling novel of forbidden love, social equality, political idealism, and the struggle between inherited privilege and a changing France.
A romance in which the greatest barrier between two people is not distance—but the world they were born into.
