About This Book

Le récit commence dans une auberge parisienne où de récents embellissements et des rumeurs de protection de la cour attirent une clientèle nouvelle. L'intrigue s'attache à des figures de force et d'impulsion — un habitué brusque et assuré, un blessé faible et un religieux — et se déploie entre secrets personnels, liens d'affection et manœuvres d'influence autour du pouvoir central après un siège récent. Alternant scènes d'action, mystères et révélations, le texte mêle aventure et observations sociales dans un cadre historique.
