Description

In a windswept castle overlooking the rugged Corsican countryside, Vivienne, barely eighteen, faces a grim choice. Her brother Pascal, bound by a solemn oath to avenge their father's murder, insists she honor a dying wish that would bind her to a marriage she cannot love. The tension between familial duty and personal desire crackles as Vivienne argues that she cannot be given away like a pawn, even as the memory of their slain father looms over every decision.

The story unfolds amid the lingering shadows of a vendetta, with the promise of retribution shaping every conversation. As the brothers grapple with loyalty, honor, and the weight of promises made to the dead, Vivienne’s fierce independence shines, challenging the expectations of her aristocratic world. Listeners are drawn into a poignant clash of love, grief, and the relentless pull of tradition in a land where the past never truly rests.
