About the book: 2019 / This is medieval France, where the darkest legends and traditions come to life. There are cathedrals here that cannot be reached through ordinary streets, in Carcassonne the coming of the Beast from the Abyss is awaited, the cities are besieged by the living dead, and in the sea there is something that can drive any person crazy. Here, hell is real, miracles are commonplace, real demons, angels and monsters roam the streets and forests, and labyrinths of dark stories create an era full of horror, superstition, mysteries and the grotesque. Here, François Villon, a cursed poet, thief and former canon, convicted of murdering a priest, seeks the truth. Welcome to another Europe of the 15th century, where nightmares, passions and human sins are inseparable from each other, and myths and history are intertwined into a tight knot that you cannot break even at the cost of your own life.
