An addictive adventure novel that reconciles tradition and modernity!

Disoriented by his grandfather’s death, Paulin must welcome a newcomer to his fencing club. Her new friend will not, however, be out of place in the incredible adventure that will make them see their sport in a new light… After the death of his grandfather, Paulin has almost lost the taste for fencing. One night, however, he surprises some figures who come out of the fencing room discreetly. Could they have a link with the mission mentioned by his grandfather just before his disappearance? Accompanied by Anahita, a new student of the club who is not afraid of the cold, Paulin could uncover a major mystery… Pierre Gabarrou, the master of arms of the “Cercle des Mousquetaires”, leaves behind him a great void in the world of fencing. But wouldn’t he have been the bearer of a secret even more important than his multiple titles of champion?
