"She was thin and fragile, with a fine face that seemed carved in a warm, golden ivory. From all his person emanated a deep sadness... In a flash, Daniel suddenly had the impression that he would give his life to flood this face with joy:
She is Anne de La Boissière, nicknamed "Sainte-Sauvage", because she is a fierce fugitive from the world. Her father's death left her without resources. Their castle of La Muette will be sold... The liquidator is none other than Daniel. However, his grandfather was the shepherd, and then became the creditor of the girl's father.
Daniel falls in love passionately with "Sainte-Sauvage" who is troubled by so much love and fervour... until the day she discovers which family Daniel comes from. What! Allying with these people! Marrying that boy whose grandfather robbed his father.... Never! Never!
Did he really strip her? As soon as she tries to find out, Anne is not at the end of her surprises! Even from his heart....
