Le décalogue #3
This third volume of Frank Giroud's sweeping historical-fantasy series 'Le Décalogue' continues the interconnected saga centered on a mysterious book that grants its reader the power to alter destiny. In 'Le Météore,' the narrative shifts to 19th-century France, where the discovery of a meteorite sets off a chain of events tied to the ancient manuscript's influence. Giroud weaves a complex tapestry of characters and eras, with this installment exploring themes of fate and obsession through a standalone yet integral chapter in the larger decalogy.
Le décalogue #3 (2001) delivers a taut, atmospheric thriller as scholar Shelley McGuire closes in on the legendary lost text Nahik, believed to hold vital secrets about Islam. Hidden within the remote Hagios Manolis monastery, the book draws six enigmatic men toward it—each with their own motives—while a cunning psychopath stalks the high cliffs, mutilating victims and assuming their identities. With Jean-François Charles handling every aspect of the interior art and cover, the story unfolds with a haunting, grounded intensity, blending scholarly intrigue with psychological dread.
