Philippe Briolant’s Les princes divins: Tome IV: Afonso et Ramses continues the saga of Guenievre, Morgane, and Maya, who find themselves pregnant again alongside Jeanne. The narrative shifts focus as Arthur receives urgent visions requiring him to expand his knightly ranks. King Jean de Berry suggests an alliance with a peaceful southern kingdom near Berry, setting the stage for political maneuvering. However, the arrival of two new deities from outside worlds introduces unexpected revelations that heighten tensions among divine clans. The story moves beyond court intrigue into a broader conflict. After the great tournament concludes, Arthur makes the decisive choice to send the alliance on a long journey. Their mission is to defend the Kingdom of the Nile against an invasion by sanguinary forces. Briolant draws on Arthurian legend and supernatural fiction traditions to weave these elements together.
