Bastards of the Empire 3

Meanwhile, Lilian and Aubin land in Algiers. There they meet Daoud, also a bastard, who will share the adventures of the two friends for a while. Having linked his destiny to that of Murat, Nicolas finds himself in Naples, the darling of a city where these sulphurous boys called lazzaroni abound.
