They would be summoned to the courts of the great kings and entrusted with the most risky missions. But in the Marseilles of our own time this is a far more complicated undertaking, because the differences between the goodies and the baddies have become blurred, almost intangible, and there’s always someone plotting away in the background.

Aware that the sword he bears on his chest will, after every adventure, gouge a new wound in his soul! |
