About the Book

Rassemblant dix récits poignants, haletants, émouvants et surprenants, où s'entremêlent intimement légende et réalité, où créatures divines et fantastiques marquent de leur empreinte le quotidien des êtres humains, où le mythe le dispute à l'Histoire, cet ouvrage, dont chaque ligne est une invitation à explorer la richesse d'époques révolues, est une odyssée au sein de l'univers surnaturel qui à nos aïeux était familier.

Ainsi côtoierez-vous Dahut qui causa la perte de la ville d'Ys en s'éprenant du page Sylven, après que son effrayante beauté, servie par une peau blanche, une chevelure rousse et des yeux affichant les couleurs de l'océan, eut attiré en nombre les amants au coeur du château des Maléfices. Vous voguerez au gré des tribulations de Richard sans Peur, duc de Normandie épousant la fée qu'il avait fait nourrir durant sept ans pour s'apercevoir bientôt qu'elle était un démon, puis prenant pour femme la fille du roi d'Angleterre dont il tomba éperdument amoureux lors d'un tournoi donné par Charlemagne. Vous accompagnerez jusqu'à son dernier souffle rendu au sommet de la Tour de François Ier, Aignan Lecomte, héros oublié victime du perfide et sournois le Tournois. Avec pour compagne de voyage l'ineffable, pétillante et indomptable Diane de Boisbriand, dont l'esprit et la gentillesse l'avaient rendue dès l'enfance le jouet favori de la reine, vous vous emparerez de la clef menant à la chambre interdite de l'astrologue, nichée au coeur de la demeure de ses ancêtres. Non loin du Mont-Saint-Michel, vous assisterez aux ultimes instants de vie terrestre des druidesses de Tombelaine, prophétesses passant de l'état de bourreau à celui du condamné lorsque, par malheur, elles laissaient l'amour les happer.

Aux côtés de Jean de Calais, dont la bravoure et la noblesse des sentiments suscitèrent l'admiration de ses contemporains, vous prendrez part au fabuleux périple le menant de sa terre natale jusqu'au royaume de Portugal, en passant par une île à lui inconnue lui valant de sceller son destin à celui d'une esclave qu'il entendit sauver du sort funeste qui lui était réservé. Quant au sombre destin, conséquence d'une vie dissolue, du baron Gaston, seigneur bourguignon, sans doute vous donnera-t-il à prodiguer une attention soutenue aux signes envoyés par le Ciel, à moins de braver crânement le Creux du Diable qu'eut à connaître ce malheureux. En pensée vous prêterez main forte à Henri, seigneur de Fayet dépossédé de la plupart de ses biens par un farouche ennemi bien décidé à lui ravir jusqu'à sa future épouse, amour d'enfance dont il sera réduit à tenter de conquérir la main à la faveur d'un tournoi, en revêtant l'armure diabolique de feu son père conférant l'invincibilité. Vous partagerez également le combat de la reine Richardis qui, poussée à bout, eut recours à l'épreuve du feu, plus encore pour sauver la vie de celui qui l'aimait sans reproche que pour se justifier. Enfin, vous comprendrez comment Merlin l'enchanteur, conçu par le baiser de l'Ange maudit et animé d'un esprit de révolte, d'une insatiable curiosité et d'un instinct de douceur, se rendit dans la forêt de Brocéliande pour y rencontrer la fée Viviane qui parvint à l'envoûter...
