Les Ombres de Wieldstadt, 2001 ( Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire 2002, Novel category).Pevel's novels are noticeable for always including dragons. However, most of the history present in Pevel's novels is accurate, minus supernatural elements and a few deliberate changes. These elements influence the portrayal of the chosen period as people in this world are keenly aware that they coexist with the supernatural and Pevel sometimes provides small changes to actual historical events. The setting is nearly always in a universe strongly inspired by a precise historical period, well documented, but that is different from real world events by the presence of wondrous elements ( magic, supernatural creatures). Pierre Pevel's novels are written in a style approaching that of uchronia (or, alternative history), and in particular of fantasy uchronia. He is known for his trilogy, the Ombres de Wieldstadt, published en 2001, which in 2002 won him a Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire. He has written many fantasy novels under the pseudonym "Pierre Jacq", often signing his books under his real name. He was a scriptwriter and author of role-playing games (RPG), before he began writing. 2.4 Haut-Royaume (A Tale from the High Kingdom).
