About this audiobook
Paris, 1793.
The guillotine does not rest. Inside the damp corridors of the Conciergerie prison, Étienne Voclain —a clerk serving the Committee of Public Safety— transcribes the last words of the condemned. His work is mechanical, detached, anonymous. Until a letter appears on his desk. It is not a testament. It is a warning. And it comes true.
One after another, the letters keep arriving. Each one predicts a death. Each one delivers a sentence before the tribunal does. And all of them are addressed to him.
Who is writing these letters? How can someone know the future? And why has Étienne been chosen as their unwilling confidant?
Caught between duty and conscience, Étienne is dragged into a maze of secrets where the greatest threat is not the guillotine... but the truth itself.
