Robbie Macgregor, the illegitimate son of a French aristocrat and a Scottish servant, grows up without the status or wealth his father’s name might have provided. During the French Revolution, social rejection becomes political danger, and joining the army offers one of the few routes by which he can escape suspicion and create a new identity.

Cavalry service transforms Robbie from an unwanted dependent into a professional soldier. The upheaval of revolutionary France gives him opportunities that the old social order denied him, but advancement comes through war. His career begins amid a military system being remade at the same time as the country it serves.
