In 19th century France, a mysterious tree has been sowing terror among the villagers for forty years. Anyone who ventures too close is cursed and destined to die within the year. But the handsome Alphan, who doesn't believe in legends, leads his fiancée beneath the accursed tree. He will bitterly regret his decision.

An enchanting land, a tragic love story, the battle of good against evil, a deep reflection about the meaning of life, all the ingredients are gathered for a great story.

Halfway between dark fantasy and classic literature, Samantha ROTHMANN's novel explores the themes of obsessive love and the origins of evil through a powerful narrative. Steeped in Christian mysticism, it was shortlisted for the Grand Prix des collégiens of the French Catholic Radio in 2022.
