Le serment des hommes rouges: Aventures d'un enfant de Paris

In the glittering streets of 1746 Paris, a modest costume shop becomes the unlikely sanctuary for a frightened eight‑year‑old found shivering on its doorstep. Adopted by the charismatic widow Mame Toinon, the boy—known simply as Tony— carries no memory of his parents, only whispers of masked men who once sought his life. As he grows into a tall, quick‑witted teenager, his bond with his adoptive mother deepens, even as rumors swirl through the neighborhood about the secret of his origin.

When the season’s grand opera ball approaches, Mame Toinon prepares a dazzling ensemble for Tony, hoping the night’s splendor will mask the shadows that still linger around him. Their plans are interrupted by a proud marquis who drifts through the shop, his flirtations hinting at hidden motives. With the promise of a midnight duel and the allure of Parisian high society, Tony’s first steps into the ballroom set the stage for an adventure where loyalty, mystery, and youthful bravado will collide.
