The gloomy castle of Louvar is located in the north of the distant island of Sistelle. A convoy brings a young nobleman sentenced to execution to the fortress. For the brutal murder of his father, he must accept a long, painful death: wearing the Green Bracelet. A terrible “decoration”, saturated with poison and leading to loss of sanity. But the mysterious prisoner silently endures all the torture and humiliation - and the owner of the castle has doubts about his guilt. Can Good remain Good when it punishes Evil in such a Jesuitical way? A combination of historicism, skillfully written plot intrigue and deep philosophical questions - this is Mireille Marc’s novel, written by the writer at the age of 17. Only 40 years later did the author decide to publish the manuscript, and critics immediately called the book the literary discovery of the year.
