Bastards of the Empire 2

In order not to break the link with his lover, Nicolas chooses to enlist as a simple soldier. But, very quickly, his skills, his seduction, his kindness earn him a promotion. He soon finds himself in Egypt, in the shadow of General Bonaparte, providing a hundred proofs of his valour and bravery, but with his mind always turned towards the one he loves. An event occurs that will change the lives of both of them. They are separated even more dramatically than they were before. From then on, what was the point of trying to find each other? Nicolas understands that he must now consider a destiny without Lilian. In this troubled East, trapped in the sands in which he sometimes feels he is sinking, he will make a new encounter that will give him hope.
