Beschreibung
1137. The Duke of Aquitaine – a region coveted by France – is found dead in Compostela. The body is discolored blue and bears the marks of a bloody eagle, an ancient Norman method of torture. The Duke's daughter, Eleanor, decides to avenge her father's death, and thus marries the son of the man she believes murdered him. That man is King Louis VI of France, known as Louis the Fat. But the king himself dies under the same circumstances on the day of the wedding. Eleanor and Louis VII, along with the Aquitanian cats – the legendary spies of the dukes – try to uncover who wanted to place the inexperienced royal couple on the throne in his stead. Many years before the death of the Duke of Aquitaine, an unnamed boy is left in the woods. Perhaps he is a monster, perhaps a saint, but he survives and becomes one of the most extraordinary men of medieval Europe. A gripping historical thriller set in a century full of revenge, incest, and battles unravels a disturbing mystery surrounding three heroes who will one day shape the future of Europe.
