When Adam wrote down the names he allocated to the earth's creatures, he never expected the manuscript would one day be fought over by a disgraced French Count, two Russian oligarchs, and a rogue's gallery of misfits-as the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
When a dishevelled ex-con collides with a bankrupt aristocrat on a rain-soaked Parisian street, they unwittingly set off a chain of events that unearths a conspiracy older than the French Republic-and possibly the universe itself. At the centre lies a decaying château, a stolen fortune, and a leather-bound artefact whispered about in obscure footnotes and forbidden histories: The Book of Names.
Said to contain the true name of every living thing, the Book bestows immense power upon those who understand its secrets. Pursued by oligarchs, occultists, and a witch who once ruled the steppes, the unlikely duo are joined by a master thief, a philosophising chef, and three daughters of an extinct warrior order-each drawn into a caper that blurs the line between myth and memory.
