The Poniard’s Hilt (originally titled Le Poignard) is a historical adventure novel by Eugène Sue, set during the 16th century. It follows the turbulent period of the French Wars of Religion, exploring the political and religious tensions of the time. The story is filled with intrigue, duels, and betrayals, centered around the use of a poniard (dagger) as a symbol of both violence and power. Sue’s masterful storytelling and deep historical knowledge immerse readers in this chaotic and dangerous era of French history, making it a gripping tale of loyalty, revenge, and survival.Joseph Marie Eugène Sue (1804-1857) was a French novelist. His period of greatest success and popularity coincided with that of Alexandre Dumas, père, with whom he has been compared.
