Story
It is 1781, and the British-held American port of Yorktown on the Chesapeake Bay is under siege. Pounded by the American colonists on land and the deadly warships of their French allies at sea, the once proud city is in flames and near ruin. But on the horizon, the King's own fleet of heavily armed frigates heads full sail to blast through France's blockade. Aboard His Majesty's swift flagship DESPERATE, midshipman Alan Lewrie quickly sets his gunners to their lethal work, firing rapid broadsides of 24 pound shot at the enemy vessels.

Story
Young D'Artagnan arrives in Paris to join the king's elite guards but almost immediately finds he is duelling with some of the very men he has come to swear allegiance to - Porthos, Athos and Aramis: inseparable friends, the Three Musketeers. Soon, part of their close band, D'Artagnan's loyalty to his new allies puts him in the deadly path of Cardinal Richlieu's machinations. And when the young hero falls in love with the beautiful but inaccessible Constance, he finds himself in a world of murder, conspiracy and lies, with only the Musketeers to depend on.

Story
Un enfant arrive en hiver dans une région de haute montagne. Parisien, il découvre la neige pour la première fois. Un décor impensé, impensable se dresse devant lui, cerné de pics et de glaciers qui par instant se dessinent dans l’épaisseur du brouillard. Là-haut, la nature règne en maître au rythme des saisons, ces cycles immuables au cours desquels des hommes et des femmes, des gosses, aux vies modestes mais d’une humanité décuplée par le sens et la nécessité de leurs tâches, vont partager leur monde avec ce citadin, ébahi.

"Quand Mercurio s'était jeté dans le canal, Giuditta avait eu la tentation de le retenir. Ou de s'y jeter avec lui. Elle ne voulait pas renoncer à la sensation de sa main dans la sienne. Elle ne voulait pas renoncer à lui. Déjà, les nuits précédentes, dans le chariot, elle avait senti une forte attraction pour les yeux de cet étrange garçon. Qui était-il ? Il n'était pas prêtre, il le lui avait avoué. Quels mots avait-il dits en sautant du bateau ? Elle se souvenait à peine. Sa tête se faisait légère. 'Je te retrouverai', voilà ce qu'il avait dit."

Voici plus d'un siècle, un homme étrange nommé Nol visita tous les rois du monde connu. Sur sa demande, des émissaires parmi les plus sages l'accompagnèrent alors pour un voyage mystérieux sur l'île de Ji. Mais tous n'en revinrent pas, et les survivants gardèrent le silence sur ce qu'ils avaient vu, jusque dans la tombe. Depuis, leurs descendants se réunissent régulièrement pour commémorer cet événement dont ils ignorent presque tout. À part eux, plus personne ne s'intéresse à cette histoire tombée dans l'oubli.

Sur une île de "l'Archipel du Chien" vit une petite communauté qui se pense à l'abri des soubresauts du monde. Lorsque la mer un matin rejette sur la plage trois cadavres de jeunes hommes noirs, c'est toute la tranquillité d'un quotidien réglé qui vole en éclats. Que faire de ces corps ? Les inhumer ? Les faire disparaître ? Doit-on garder le secret ou avertir les autorités ? Entre épopée, tragédie antique et thriller efficace, ce roman pose la question de notre responsabilité morale face aux grands drames d'aujourd'hui, et de notre soif de vérité qui se confronte à notre désir de préserver notre bonheur.

Qui est le Libérateur dont parlent les légendes ? Arien, originaire du petit village de Val Tibbet, a appris à survivre dans un monde où des démons voraces rôdent dans la nuit et où l'humanité s'est enfermée dans la peur. Il a choisi une autre voie : se battre. Il est devenu l'Homme-rune, un héros malgré lui. Mais l'homme qui se proclame le Libérateur n'est pas Arien. Surgi du désert, Ahmann fut son ami et son frère d'armes avant de le trahir.

De Prague à Alger, en passant par Paris, de 1910 à 2010, ce roman évoque la traversée d'un siècle par Joseph Kaplan, médecin juif praguois, qui débarque à Paris en 1936. Il écoute les chansons de Carlos Gardel et écume les bars parisiens, insensible à la montée des fascismes européens. Dans les tourmentes de l'Histoire, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale jusqu'à la chute du mur de Berlin, Joseph Kaplan va traverser le siècle en trébuchant puis se relevant.

"Avec mon ami le guide de haute montagne Daniel du Lac, je suis parti de Menton au bord de la Méditerranée pour traverser les Alpes à ski, jusqu'à Trieste, en passant par l'Italie, la Suisse, l'Autriche et la Slovénie. De 2018 à 2021, à la fin de l'hiver, nous nous élevions dans la neige. Le ciel était vierge, le monde sans contours, seul l'effort décomptait les jours. Je croyais m'aventurer dans la beauté, je me diluais dans une substance. Dans le Blanc tout s'annule - espoirs et regrets. Pourquoi ai-je tant aimé errer dans la pureté ?".
