When photographer father and 15-year-old son arrive in Provence for a six-week shoot, Ned discovers a long-forgotten story unfolding around him.

The result is a shocking and transformative experience that changes lives forever. Set against the backdrop of modern Provence, this exhilarating novel casts light on the ways in which history refuses to be buried, revealing the enduring power of myth and legend to shape our world today.
