Based on the true story of the Beast of the Gevaudan that terrorised France in the mid-XVIIIth century.
A special envoy of the King of France, a biologist, an explorer and a philosopher, arrives in the Gevaudan mountainous central region of France. The Beast has been attacking women and children for months and nobody has quite been able to harm it or even take a good look at it. In the second part, our hero Chevalier de Fronsac will not only have to fight the Beast, but also ignorance, bigotry and conspiracy and will rely on two women, one an aristocrat, the other a prostitute, as well as the enigmatic Mani, a Mohawk he met in New-France.
