The Legacy, the second volume of the Furnane brothers, begins in 1940 when the German occupation crushes France. Jérôme Corbier, the baker, has become the mayor of Perpezac. Among his two adopted sons, Honore has joined the National Guard, and Sébastien is part of the Resistance.

The peace painstakingly heals the wounds of dark times. Claire, Jean's daughter, has become a beautiful and ambitious young woman. She will face Jérôme Corbier, who believes that bread must be kneaded with hands and the baker's sweat. Claire believes in modern methods. She will succeed, but in the battle she will fight, she will lose her soul.
