For five months, the land was burned down by the attacks of fifty thousand soldiers plundering and devastating a country deserted by its inhabitants. But the Emperor did not take his prodigious booty with him; instead he hid it. In 1564, war raged between Catholics and Reformed. According to the intransigent Queen Catherine of Medicis, finding Charles V's treasure seems to be the only way to save the kingdom from ruin. And her soothsayer, Nostradamus, could help her locate its hiding place. But does Nostradamus really have the supernatural powers he is believed to have? And who is Yohan de Vernègues, this lieutenant of the “viguier” (magistrate) of Aix, whom Nostradamus calls upon so often?
