About the book
Maurice Druon presents the first volume of an epic saga set in medieval France that traces the decline of the Capetian dynasty. The novel follows the life of Louis X as he faces curses, family conspiracy, and the complexities of royal power during a time of political transformation. The narrative weaves historical and dramatic characters together with the grandeur of a historical epic.
Compassionate in its revelations about the humanity of kings, the book is both history and speculative fiction, offering profound insights into medieval politics and the fragility of absolute power.
