Synopsis

[edit]

The Franchi twins, when baptized, were separated when their family was murdered by his enemies, the Sagona. While one brother went "into the maquis" for revenge, the other, unaware of the family drama, became a doctor and struck up a friendship with a descendant of the Sagona. But blood ties and their love for the same woman will bring them together...[3]
