The Lymond Chronicles, tome 1 : The Game of Kings
Résumé :
'I despised men who accepted their fate. I shaped mine twenty times and had it broken twenty times in my hands'
1547. After five years imprisonment and exile far from his homeland, Francis Crawford of Lymond - scholar, soldier, rebel, nobleman, outlaw - returns to Edinburgh.
But for many in an already divided Scotland, where conspiracies swarm around the infant Queen Mary, he is not welcome.
"I" said Lymond, in the voice unmistakably his which honeyed his most lethal thoughts, "I am a narwhal looking for my virgin. I have sucked up the sea like Charybdis and failing other entertainment will spew it three times daily, for a fee."
