About this ebook

France, 1076. Hermance Languedolce, a child with miraculous healing powers, falls in with religious rebels and is branded a heretic. Hideously tortured, he summons a miracle and saves himself, only to be taken in by kind gypsies. When fearsome warrior Karlis Oresund is converted to Christ, he too receives a miraculous ability to sense evil. Entering the service of Bohemond of Taranto, he sets forth on a crusade to the Holy Land, conscripting Hermance by force along the way. Hermance can't or won't remember his powers, but can Karlis bring them out of the scarred young man?

About the author

Philippe Thirault was born in Paris in 1967. He spent five years at Sciences Po, France's leading institution for the study of political sciences, but left without obtaining a degree. It was clear that he was going to be a writer. Several novels — "Lucy," "Hémoglobine Blues," and "Heureux les imbéciles" — were published by Le Serpent à Plumes, and "Miss," a comics series written in collaboration with Marc Riou and Mark Vigouroux, was published by Les Humanoides Associés. Unrivalled as a writer of dialogue, he is equally happy writing novels and comics, whether crime fiction ("Agence Interpol: Mexico," Dupuis; Europe Comics in English), westerns ("Mille visages" and "Lucy," written with Marc Malès), social satire ("Mes voisins sont formidables" and "Vider la corbeille," with Gnaedig), or even religious epics ("Le rêve de Jérusalem," Dupuis; "The Dream of Jerusalem," Europe Comics).
