Un thriller médiéval à mi-chemin entre Le Nom de la rose et Les Piliers de la terre, best-seller en Espagne. Et si une jeune scribe tenait entre ses mains le destin de l'Occident ? Franconie, an 799, à la veille du sacre de Charlemagne. Fille d'un célèbre scribe byzantin, Theresa est apprentie parcheminière.

In eighth-century Austrasia, a spirited girl in the town of Würzburg brashly defies convention by pursuing the time-honored art of parchment-making. But Theresa's dreams are shattered when unimaginable tragedy strikes, forcing her to flee and tearing her family apart. Set adrift as a fugitive, Theresa relies on her uncommon education and the sympathy of strangers to survive. When she encounters Alcuin of York, a shrewd and influential monk with close ties to King Charlemagne, she hopes her luck might have finally changed. Yet all is not what it seems.
