Description
Lundi grows up with his aunt and uncle in the Swiss Alps during the early 1930s. While herding sheep near Lake Geneva, he discovers a young amnesiac girl who survived a plane crash. He names her Jeudi and convinces his reluctant guardians to shelter her and her pet cockatoo, Printemps. They share a childhood in a rural village, their bond deepening over time.
As a teenager, Lundi exhibits fierce protectiveness and loyalty. He intervenes when the aristocratic Count Germont attempts to forcibly take Jeudi, resulting in Germont beating him and seizing her. Undeterred, Lundi infiltrates Germont's castle with covert assistance from Germont's wife, Francoise, freeing Jeudi. This act forces them to flee, beginning their journey to uncover Jeudi's past while evading Germont and his Nazi allies.
Lundi demonstrates resourcefulness and perseverance throughout their travels across Switzerland, Austria, and France. He supports Jeudi's quest to identify her origins, centered on a recurring melody titled "Alpen Rose." His skills, honed in his rural upbringing, include crafting wooden flutes and navigating mountainous terrain. He consistently prioritizes others' safety, exemplified when he disarms a bomb on a train bound for Austria, an act inadvertently separating him from Jeudi during an ensuing attack.
Defined by moral conviction and selflessness, Lundi allies with Swiss General Henri Guisan after saving a young girl, Clara, from being struck by Guisan's car. He repeatedly risks his life to protect friends and strangers, sheltering Jewish refugees and assisting La Résistance members. This heroism extends to endangering himself to save adversaries, reflecting his unwavering belief in compassion during wartime.
Lundi's relationship with Jeudi evolves from childhood friendship to profound romantic love. They rely on each other for emotional strength through separations and tragedies, including the deaths of allies like Hans. Their life-saving intimacy is shown when Jeudi uses her body heat to prevent his hypothermia after an injury. Their commitment culminates in marriage after World War II, as depicted in the sequel novel *Emerald Nocturne*, where they raise children peacefully in Switzerland.
A significant familial revelation occurs when Lundi discovers Jean-Jacques Cortot, the feared assassin "Tarantula," is his older brother. Their relationship evolves from antagonism to uneasy alliance after Jean-Jacques refuses Germont’s order to assassinate General Guisan, recognizing Germont’s Nazi sympathies as irredeemable.
In later years, Lundi participates in acts of defiance against Nazi occupation, such as planting the Swiss flag on a battlefield strewn with defeated soldiers, symbolizing hope and resistance. His legacy intertwines with Switzerland’s wartime neutrality and resilience, concluding with an earned peaceful life alongside Jeudi and their community.
