La Citadelle des Ombres, Tome 3

The White Prophet - The Cursed Sect - The Secrets of Castelcerf Today, in France and abroad, The Citadel of Shadows is unanimously acclaimed as one of the masterpieces of fantastic literature. How can one not be captivated from the very first pages by the strength and realism of the plot, the abundance of adventures and their twists and turns, the increasingly oppressive atmosphere of mystery and magic as one delves deeper into the action? In the kingdom of the Six Duchies, in the disturbing setting of a fortress battered by winds and waves, Fitz, a young boy from a royal lineage, undergoes the harsh apprenticeship of life. A strange and gruff stable master gives him advice and affection; an old sage, isolated at the top of a tower, trains him in the delicate perception of Good and Evil; mastiffs who have adopted him provide him with comfort and protection. Then begins for the young man a long initiatory journey strewn with pitfalls and betrayals. A journey to the end of anguish, love, and despair. Confronted with the cruel demands of loyalty, is there another path for him than that of sacrifice?
