Narrator: Dominique Faure

Release date: January 24, 2024

Publisher's Summary:

Quel est le trésor dont parle un manuscrit du IXème siècle que Virgile, jeune antiquaire parisien, rapporte de Trêves ? Pourquoi la mafia russe, dirigée par Constantin Basilivitch, l'a-t-elle missionné pour lui procurer ce Livre des miracles, rédigé par les plus grands ecclésiastiques de tous les temps, depuis Macaire, premier évêque de Jérusalem, jusqu'au pape Pie XII ? Quel est le secret contenu dans ces pages qui relatent la vie de Saint Hydulphe, chorévêque de Trèves, la ville où naquit l'empereur Constantin qui christianisa le monde romain ? Quel est le lien entre le médaillon que porte toujours Tontine, la mère adoptive de Virgile, et le trésor des abbayes qui composèrent la croix monastique des Vosges dont parlent les archives de la bibliothèque d'Épinal ? Plongés dans une affaire aux méandres diaboliques, Virgile et ses amis devront répondre à toutes ces questions pour découvrir le trésor des abbesses. Suivez Virgile et ses amis au cœur des mystères du Moyen Âge ! EXTRAIT Le jeune homme penché sur une carte ancienne ressemblait à un bijoutier. Cela venait des bésicles qu'il avait sur le nez, pareilles à celles qu'utilisent les lapidaires. La blouse qu'il portait complétait l'impression de travail minutieux suggérée par son attitude studieuse. La trentaine, svelte et dynamique, c'était un très beau garçon. L'intelligence pailletait son regard brun et ses lèvres pleines rehaussaient son sourire. Grand et mince, d'allure sportive, il était toujours habillé comme pour aller dîner dans le monde. Il personnifiait le gendre idéal pour toutes les duègnes, et c'était un ami sûr, à l'esprit vif et cultivé, dont le goût avait été forgé par les meilleurs maîtres.

Thirty miles off the coast of San Francisco lie the Farallon Islands, known to sailors as the Devil’s Teeth. Despite their fearsome reputation, their remote nature appeals to young Lucy Riley, who in 1859 seeks a new start as a teacher to the lighthouse keepers’ children. But Lucy brings treacherous secrets with her, including a name that isn’t hers and a past she can’t escape. On the island, she meets Will Sisson, a mysterious man who seems to recognize her name—but not her face. Wary of Will at first, Lucy slowly starts to trust him. As Lucy embeds herself in the island’s community, she discovers numerous dangers: deadly cliffs, shark-infested waters, and disorienting fogs. A dark presence of another sort, too, disguises an encroaching threat. In this forbidding place, Lucy must find the courage to confront the perils of her past and the ever-present dangers of the world around her for the new life she’s sought to finally begin.
