Book Details
Table of Contents
The date set to Ambroise de Montsalvy is one that can’t be failed to keep: the third day after St. John’s Day, actually, he’s awaited in Cluny for Bishop Chaffre de Revard, who found the long-searched pretext to have him tried and chastised for his less-than-orthodox views.
While on his way to Cluny, together with his protégée Artemisia, Captain Colin Bois, and Illait from Isley (a young man gifted with mysterious powers deriving from druidic wisdom) Amboise receives a message that compels him to an unexpected detour: his former fellow student, alchemist Valentin from Auxerre, is living through the gloomiest anguish because, since last Christmas, he was forbidden to meet with his niece Agnès, novice into the Sainte-Madeleine from Vezélay’s convent.
That’s not all: from the cell where the young woman, dumb from birth, is held in custody, now often does drift away a melodious singing, spoken into an incomprehensible language.
The way to get at the mistery's solution turns out to be bristling with dangers and foes: Amboise and Valentin are imprisoned on a pretext into the palace of Hugo from Chalon, Auxerre’s Bishop; Artemisia must use diplomacy and cleverness to act inside Sainte-Madeleine, where she went to discover what did it happen to Agnes; Illait from Isley is obliged to appeal to his whole might in order to control the powers of Maude from Belley, the beautiful and enigmatic convent’s abbess; and Colin Bois is called to face his existence’s direst trial, having to defend with his life who’d been entrusted to him.
That June in Year One Thousand, fraught with ominous events, shall see many lives transmuted along the lines of the High Alchemic Work.
