Political intrigue and psychological drama intertwine as a reclusive queen, veiled for ten years after her husband's assassination and longing for death, meets Stanislas — a poet called Azrael, a suicidal anarchist haunted by obsession. He enters to kill them both but falls in love, partly because he resembles the late king. He urges her to reclaim public power; she tries to give him hope. Meanwhile, her enemies plot to keep the lovers together and thwart their plans.
