A gripping adventure into the heart of the 12th century through the youth of a knight known as Guilhem d’Ussel...
Marseille, 1187. Antoine, an orphan at 14, must flee from town after killing the man who was responsible for his mother’s death. Antoine finds himself all alone on a path to nowhere. To burn all traces of his past, Antoine becomes Guilhem. Guilhem, with no real direction or goal, roams for years teaming up with both honorable and dubious people, sometimes forced to do things he is not proud of.
Just as tragedy strikes the women he loves during childbirth, Guilhem meets Joceran, a monk from the Cluny Monastery and Jeanne, a nun from a neighboring abbey. Because their love is forbidden, they fled in order to be together. But they disappeared at the same time as the Holy Lance which the Cluny Monastery had just paid a fortune to buy. A man was sent to hunt Joceran and Jeanne down.
The unjust accusations against Joceran and Jeanne can only lead to tragedy and so Guilhem is left to defend the honor of his friends and puts his own life at risk at every turn.

In 2011, he was the recipient of the Grand Prix littéraire de Provence for his body of work.
