France, 1745. A boy wakes up in a forest on the outskirts of Paris with no memory of his past. Through a fortuitous accident, he discovers he possesses an inexplicable power: the ability to transmigrate into the bodies of others. The young man turns his singular gift into a sinister profession at the service of the Freemasons and other powerful figures of eighteenth-century France, his life intertwining with famous characters of the time. In an increasingly fast-paced adventure that spans more than a century, he finds himself caught up in many historical events, including the French Revolution. Alter Ego takes us on exotic journeys involving sex, ill-fated love, high-ranking friendships and powerful enemies who plot in the shadows. Culminating in a final twist, the book has an enjoyable esoteric flavour, and gives us a glimpse into one of the darkest periods of history.
