La nave fantasma
Francia, XVII secolo. Louise, che da anni vive con i nonni materni a seguito della morte dei genitori, sta per entrare in possesso della cospicua eredità del padre, con la quale intende comprare una nave e darsi al commercio. Ma i suoi progetti rischiano di non realizzarsi, perché corre voce che suo padre avesse un altro figlio, che potrebbe reclamare per sé l'eredità. Nello stesso periodo, la giovane Gilles viene costretta dalla madre a fingersi un maschio per entrare nelle grazie dello zio, un ricco mercante di vini, e farsi nominare erede della sua fortuna. Quando però l'uomo muore in circostanze tragiche, la ragazza si ritrova a poter contare solo su sé stessa... e su Louise, che decide di prenderla sotto la sua ala. Assieme ai marinai della Old Moon, la nave di Louise, le due donne si imbarcheranno in un'impresa che tra varie traversie le porterà a dare la caccia alle navi pirata che rapiscono uomini da vendere come schiavi in giro per il mondo. Mentre l'intesa tra loro si fa sempre più profonda, scopriranno che i pirati non sono il pericolo maggiore che le aspetta...

Guerra senza confini
Giugno 1572. Per dieci anni le violente guerre di religione hanno imperversato in tutta la Francia. Gli amici sono diventati nemici, innumerevoli vite sono state spezzate e il Paese è dilaniato. Ma adesso c'è in gioco una pace precaria: Caterina de' Medici e Giovanna d'Albret hanno negoziato un matrimonio reale, un'alleanza tra la corona cattolica ed Enrico, il re ugonotto della Navarra. Un'unione che potrebbe vedere la Francia finalmente riunita. Quando Minou Joubert riceve l'invito allo storico evento previsto a Parigi in agosto, non ha idea di quello che la aspetta. Anche il più antico nemico della sua famiglia, Vidal, è stato invitato al matrimonio. E presagi oscuri si intravedono all'orizzonte: quale sarà il vero prezzo da pagare per la pace che tutti auspicano? Nei giorni successivi al matrimonio, alla vigilia della festa di San Bartolomeo, eventi tumultuosi si abbatteranno sulla famiglia di Minou, dirottando con violenza i loro destini. Tra Parigi, Chartres e la città delle lacrime ¿ Amsterdam, la grande città dei rifugiati ¿ i Joubert dovranno lottare per restare insieme, sopravvivere e non essere spazzati via, travolti dalle maree della Storia.
