The story is set in the 17th century and follows the life of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name Moli�����re, and his encounter with the infamous Cardinal de Rochefort. The novel begins with Moli�����re's arrival in Paris, where he hopes to establish himself as a successful playwright. He soon meets and falls in love with Madeleine B�����jart, a talented actress and member of a theater troupe. Moli�����re joins the troupe and begins to write and perform plays, but his success is threatened when he crosses paths with Cardinal de Rochefort, a powerful and dangerous figure in the French court. As Moli�����re's fame grows, so does the Cardinal's animosity towards him. The Cardinal plots to have Moli�����re arrested and imprisoned, but Moli�����re manages to escape and goes into hiding.
