The House of the White Shadows

A gripping courtroom drama opens the tale, where a modest woodcutter named Gautran stands accused of a shocking murder. As witnesses step forward—bakers, flower‑girls, and an impassioned advocate—layers of hidden motives and secret romances begin to surface, pulling the listener into a web of love, duty, and social intrigue. The tension builds as the advocate, torn between personal loyalties and the pursuit of truth, must decide how far to push the case.

Beyond the trial, the story hints at a deeper confession that could reshape the lives of those involved, while whispers of past betrayals and a looming “grave of honour” promise further moral conflict. Themes of conscience, redemption, and the lingering presence of an enigmatic “white shadow” weave through each chapter, inviting listeners to contemplate how far one will go to protect a loved one and what price justice truly demands.
