Les Pardaillan — Tome 03 : La Fausta

A moonlit night over Notre‑Dame sets the stage for a forbidden romance that threatens to upend everything Léonore, the only child of the baron de Montaigues, holds dear. In the shadow of the cathedral she shares a passionate night with the dashing duc Jean de Kervilliers, only to discover she is carrying his child—a secret that could ruin both families in a city still scarred by religious wars.

When a mysterious note warns that the future bishop‑prince Farnèse knows why their union can never be blessed, Léonore’s world unravels. She rushes to the cathedral, desperate for answers, only to confront a terrifying vision that blurs the line between divine judgment and mortal betrayal. Caught between love, honor, and looming accusations of sacrilege, she must decide whether to flee or face the consequences of a love that defies the era’s strict codes.

The story unfolds with vivid descriptions of 16th‑century Paris, fierce loyalty, and the thin veil separating devotion from danger, drawing listeners into a tense, emotionally charged first act.
