Une famille plongée dans l'enfer de la Saint-Barthélemy : l'Histoire de France comme vous ne l'avez jamais lue !
1572. Depuis dix ans, les guerres de Religion ravagent la France. Aujourd'hui, enfin, un fragile espoir de paix renaît : Catherine de Médicis a manoeuvré dans l'ombre et le royaume s'apprête à célébrer le mariage de la future reine Margot et d'Henri, le roi protestant de Navarre.
Minou Joubert et son époux Piet quittent le Languedoc pour assister à la cérémonie. Alors que la tension est déjà à son comble dans les rues de Paris, on attente à la vie de l'amiral de Coligny. C'est le début du massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy. Précipités dans les chaos de l'Histoire, Minou et Piet sont sur le point de prendre la fuite quand ils découvrent la disparition de Marta, leur fillette de sept ans...
Après La Cité de feu, Kate Mosse nous propose une nouvelle fresque historique et familiale pleine de rebondissements. Du Paris de la Saint-Barthélemy à Amsterdam en passant par Chartres, elle tisse sa toile et le lecteur, captivé, regarde s'écrire l'Histoire.
