This novel is about a man who dedicated his life to the enrichment and prosperity of the Holy See and the Cartesian Order. Her name is Defan. At the beginning of the 14th century, he began his career as a humble novice in the convent of Chartres de Villeneuve, and ended it as a cardinal and manager of the treasury of the papal court. It was he who created a unique financial system, opening new sources of income and laying the foundations of the modern economy. He was the first to cooperate with banks, "monetized" the faith, laid the foundations of the book trade, introduced a system of non-cash payments and created products that brought world fame to the Cartesians. Who, for example, has not heard of the famous liqueur "Chartreuse"? This is also Defan! An outstanding life is like a great existential adventure on the verge of the Renaissance.
