THE SECRET OF SAREK IBD

Sinopsi

On the wild and windswept coast of Brittany lies a place wrapped in storm clouds, sea mist, and dreadful superstition-the mysterious Isle of Sarek. Known to fishermen and villagers as the Island of the Thirty Coffins, it has long been feared as a cursed land, haunted by shipwrecks, ancient Druid stones, and an ominous prophecy:'Four women crucified, thirty coffins, and the God-Stone that gives life or death.'Into this sinister world comes Véronique d?Hergemont, a woman scarred by betrayal, loss, and years of mourning. She has lived believing that both her father and her son perished long ago-yet a strange trail of signs, bearing her maiden signature, draws her across France and into the heart of Brittany. Each clue whispers that her family may still be alive, imprisoned by a destiny she does not yet understand.Her search leads her to the Isle of Sarek, where she encounters ruins, superstitious villagers, cryptic symbols, and the horrifying truth of the prophecy. The island conceals secrets that link her tragic past to a nightmarish present, where death waits on every cliffside, and the line between myth and reality blurs. In the shadows, her ruthless husband, Vorski, reappears-obsessed with fulfilling the prophecy and willing to commit unspeakable acts to see it realized.What follows is a tale of suspense, sacrifice, and survival. Véronique must battle not only human cruelty but also the weight of fate itself as she struggles to rescue her son, confront her past, and unravel the mystery of the 'thirty coffins.'Maurice Leblanc-celebrated creator of Arsène Lupin, the gentleman thief-here turns from playful intrigue to Gothic terror and adventure.
