The Secret History (L’Histoire secrète)

Pécau and Kordey began this long series in 2005. Its premise imagines powerful figures influencing events across history through an occult system, turning familiar episodes into pieces of a hidden contest.

The scale is its distinctive feature: each era becomes a different test of how power can hide behind accepted explanations. Readers should approach its revisions as fiction rather than history.

Historical conspiracy and fantasy overlap. Magic is a plot engine, while espionage and political maneuvering supply much of the action.

Kordey’s dense realist staging helps the many settings feel connected despite jumps across centuries.
