About this audiobook

A young schoolboy stumbles upon a secret that has eluded the greatest minds of France for centuries—the hidden retreat of the kings. Lupin finds himself pursued by this youthful prodigy in a game that moves from ancient ruins to the pinnacle of a hollow rock formation. The story is a grand celebration of national myth and intellectual rivalry, pitting experience against raw intuition. It is a sweeping epic that transforms the French landscape into a giant puzzle box waiting to be unlocked.
