FictionLe Sang des princes
by Romain Delplancq
The Ducs of Spadelpietras' destiny is assured. Undisputed. Their rise towards power, the crown and their rightful place at the forefront of the world. They are the peacemakers, the builders, the governors of Slasie. They are the Greats. But the nomadic folks called the Austrois barely notice it. Their world is made of theatre, music, art and inventions of which they tightly keep the secret. Their life is as a controlled routine as their automatons. However, a small thing comes in the mechanics of history. A painting is discovered by the Spadelpietras that throws its painter, young Mical, into a dangerous flight... and puts the country, its folks, nobles and artists, into the first winds of the worst storm of their time.
