Description
Meet Gilles Antonioli at a book signing for his novel Les Rivages du destin, the first volume in the Testa Mora series.
A Corsican with a passion for Mediterranean history, the author draws his inspiration from works such as Game of Thrones and The Name of the Rose, as well as from the writings of Dante Alighieri and Francesco Petrarca.
He draws on little-known historical facts to construct a tale combining suspense, adventure and political intrigue.
The story takes place at the beginning of the 14th century, as the West prepares for the Great Schism.
Between the plots surrounding Pope John XXII, rivalries between the great Corsican families and the ambitions of the King of Aragon for Corsica, Ferrer, a cleric sent to the Pontiff, finds himself at the heart of a vast machination orchestrated by Cardinal Napoleon Orsini.
Between secret alliances, fratricidal battles and forbidden passions, the island's destiny seems to be played out in blood... and sometimes in love.
