Vassy

Vassy stands as a small town south of Paris, scarred by a Catholic massacre of 100 Huguenots ten years earlier. Anne's father fell victim there, his death haunting her as she overhears plots to repeat the slaughter before week's end. The name conjures bloodied streets and desperate cries, its proximity to the capital sharpening the threat of renewed religious violence that propels Steven and his allies into action.
