Will Maria find a way to change her destiny...?

Lady Maria of Turenne has long been engaged in a flirtation with Count Hugh La Marche. It is a match which her father has strongly encouraged. However, Maria is her own woman and she is determined to choose for herself. She is unaware that her clever, scheming maid, Maryse, is secretly in love with the count.

When the young troubadour, Gui d'Ussel, arrives at the castle, Maria is instantly captivated by him. He shares her distaste for convention and her love of the arts, and they soon become inseparable. Meanwhile, Maryse develops a strong dislike for Gui and her resentment for Maria grows.

Angered by her treatment of the Count of La Marche, Maria's father has arranged a new match. This time, Maria will not be allowed to decline.

Forced into marrying a wealthy viscount against her will, Maria is torn from Gui. However, she is determined to find a way to use the power she has gained through marriage to raise Gui in society.

Will Maria and Gui find a way to be together? Can Maria escape her marriage?

Or are she and her troubadour fated to remain apart?
