1815.
The Battle of Waterloo did not end the war. The sorcerer Élégast attempts to establish his authority at the head of the Empire, but his opponents are multiplying: the Bonapartists are stirring, resistance is organising, and the coalition forces are gradually encircling France. Worse still, the Russian sorcerer is growing in power, and Élégast dreads their next confrontation. But this mysterious entity seems to be pursuing its own goals, relentlessly expanding its influence in the upper echelons of the Russian Empire...
The only limit to the power of the practitioners of the Dark Arts is their dwindling reserves of crystals. Embarking for Egypt, Ludwig, Éthelinde and Mathurin are determined to prevent them from getting their hands on the deposit guarded by the British. But Élégast is still searching for them, and the trail leads him straight to an Order of scholars whose knowledge could turn everything upside down.
An ancient brotherhood of mages, spies in the pay of foreign powers, esoteric creatures, conspirators working to bring down the Empire, a Russian sect of worshippers of a bloodthirsty god... Each plays their part in this epic tale, some to prevent the world from sinking into darkness, others to plunge it there.
