Volume 1 — Simoun Dja
The war is threatening to break out again in the Holy Land. The Christians, led by Gregory of Arcos and the anxious Duke of Taranto, are preparing to win over Jerusalem and to tear it up in the hands of Sultan Ab'dul Razim. The preux Gauthier of Flanders opposes this new campaign which he considers to be a madness. All ignore it but, in the shadow, acts the Qua'dj, a demon determined to reap his harvest of warrior souls. Faced with his dark designs, Gauthier and the captivating, but fearsome, Syria d'Arcos will soon rise up.
Volume 2 — The Qua'dj
The Simoun D'ja, the wind that rips off the skin, has withdrawn and very few are the survivors. Worse still: some have been marked by the Qu'adj, the Demon! The latter weaves his canvas of destruction while alliances against nature are formed in order to bring down Hierus Halem. Only Gauthier of Flanders tries to escape this madness by fighting evil at the root. But, for this, it will have to recover the Mirror of Syria, the reflection of souls. And Syria is already in the hands of demons far too human.
Volume 3 — The master of machines
The hour of Judgment has come. In the depths, Gaulthier of Flanders is about to face the Aa, terrifying creature of the shadow and flesh of his flesh! In Hiérus Halem, the master of the machines tries to resist the fire that consumes him, the light of Syria so pure that she has even resisted the test of the mirror of the Ames. Each one continues his quest on his side of the mirror. But, the shadow and the light invariably attract.
Volume 4 — Fire Beaks
The wind of change blows on the forgotten crusade! Christendom has put her destiny back in the hands of the Machine Master, his new champion. But, a more serious danger is still in the sight of the Sultan of Hiérus Halem: his heart is a prisoner of a Western princess. The Sultan has the means to put an end to this war. But for this, he must accept to awaken from the times of dreams...
Volume 5 — Gauthier de Flanders
His name is El Hadj. He is the one who strikes without mercy, cross as crescent. And the jinn Ottar Benk has a mission for his infamous sect of assassins: to steal a precious good from Renaud de Châtillon, and leave no trace. It was without counting the presence of Gauthier, a knight without name, without homeland, and without fear of a death whose path he has only too crossed...
Volume 6 — Sybille, formerly
Gauthier of Flanders, the "Nomad", won Saint-Jean d'Acre. And the demons started their farandole around him, like Hakim the Black, dancer with both magical and destructive breath. But the worst is perhaps to come: if Gauthier is in St-Jean d'Acre, it is because he awaits his sister, Sybille, whose beauties have never sown anything but desolation and misfortune in the hearts of the beloved men. Jean Dufaux and Philippe Xavier lift the veil on the childhood of their hero, accelerating the rhythm of their demonic saraband.
Volume 7 — The Sandmaster
Gauthier of Flanders won Saint John of Acre and found his sister Sybille there. But he did not forget the promise made to a dying young woman: that of finding her sister captured by the fools of God who called himself the Flagellants. Accompanied by his faithful friend Ozarias, he went back to the desert, towards the most frightening destination.
Volume 8 — The Last Breath
In order to find Lyanne's sister, Gauthier de Flanders has entered the heart of the Flagellants' landmark. An unnamed horror awaits him, taped in the darkness... Meanwhile, tensions are increasing around Hiérus Halem. Guy de Lusignan wants war. Will Gauthier return in time to oppose it? Will he finally overcome the curse of the Qua'dj? The moment of the final confrontation has arrived.
