In the kingdom of France, the king's name is Philippe-Auguste. As clever as he is cunning, he rules over his people with an iron fist.
However, in the underworld, another name is whispered with reverence : le Roy des Ribauds. Even Paris’s most dangerous cut-throats and assassins fear him. And, between light and darkness, intrigues and political manoeuvers are legion.
