De la peste noire au fabuleux trésor des Cathares, dans un village fortifié au cœur du Périgord! Un huis-clos médiéval hallucinant! The main part of this breathless and animated episode is taking place in the old fortress of Commarque between Dordogne and Vézère. So the decor is set, areas for everyday life as well as those planned for military defence. As a painting, spirituality is buried in this landscape, ghosts emerge from the past, recover and resume to life in a very credible way. The very realistically described savagery of certain characters in their meanest exactions emphasizes noble and delicate feelings of manhood of any condition.
The hero is constantly driven, sometimes divided between love, the load of his duty, and the quest for an ideal in the search for a mythical treasure. The intertwining of these thoughts demonstrates a beautiful expression of love made of self-control and delicate feelings, a careful lesson in people management and organization of a fortified town, and finally, a surprising demonstration in the resolution of an enigma which draws its roots from the legends and myths that still influence our contemporaries.
"This story is enriched by the mastery of the language which is a delight. The words describe exactly the situations and feelings. Without any doubt, this novel is inspired from the delightful wording of Robert Merle in Fortunes de France, and the science and talent of a Dan Brown in his Da Vinci Code." Hubert de Commarque
