ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A dazzling historical epic novel that takes us to the flourishing and dangerous Europe of the 13th century through a commercial expedition that must face the perils from land, sea, and above all, from men's greed.

Varennes Saint-Jacques, 1260. After a tragic family and economic setback, the two brothers Balian and Blanche Fleury, heirs of a once prosperous family, decide to embark on a risky commercial expedition to the remote island of Gotland. Their main goal is to maintain their family business at all cost, but their youth pushes them to a constant search for adventure and a pursuit of love. Naive and passionate, neither realize that the powerful Rapesulver are gaining power right in front of them; they are a clan of corrupt and unscrupulous merchants who will do everything possible to preserve their undisputed domination in the cold waters of the Baltic Sea.

With this wonderful historical work, Daniel Wolf immerses us in the stormy waters of a splendid epic novel while at the same time he introduces us to excellent characters, a unique and caring writing style, and a masterful plot.
