The novel recreates the transfer of the papal seat to Avignon between 1305 and 1376, when seven popes succeeded one another, six of them French. The plot mixes intrigue, action and mysterious elements to portray a corrupt court, driven by ambition, sex and religion as a political weapon, with the Inquisition sowing terror.
