      ‘A magnificent novel’ Paris Match

      ‘An unrestrained, nightmarish, hilarious, and moving portrait of the underbelly of the Grand Siècle, wading through its baseness, its excrement and its entrails.’ Elle

      ‘Jean Teulé reveals the very particular skills of a nobleman who sets out on a quest to contest the legitimacy of the divine right of kings long before the Revolution … An exhilarating novel.’ Figaro Littéraire
