Desire for
knowledge: the first transgression, the fall of Adam and Eve. In
the countryside of post-revolutionary France, a young priest has
committed the same sin. Henri's desire for knowledge has surpassed
his desire to serve God, condemning both him and the village he
lives in.
Something has
caught scent of Henri's lust for knowledge. Something more powerful
than the Catholic Church, far more ancient than any human religion.
Now Henri's faith is at stake, eroded by horrifying circumstances,
and there is a stranger in town intent on speaking with him. Confusing
him, corrupting him, seducing him.
Offering access
to everything Henri has ever wanted to know.
