He then published two Fantasy trilogies, La Moïra and Gallica, which met with unprecedented success for a French author (La Moïra exceeded 300,000 copies in France, all editions combined, and the rights were sold in 11 countries). Numerous novels followed, ranging from thrillers, thrillers and historical novels (Le Syndrome Copernic, Le Rasoir d'Ockham, L’Apothicaire, etc.) which earned him the recognition by the Nouvel Observateur of “the new master of French thriller”. A founding member of the Imaginary League alongside, among others, Bernard Werber, Franck Thilliez, Bernard Minier and Maxime Chattam, in July 2011, he was named Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
