In an alternate France ruled for three hundred years by the immortal vampire king, Louis XIV, one woman plays a dangerous game. To the court of Versailles, she is Diane de Gastefriche, the king's trusted squire. In the shadows, she is Jeanne Froidelac, a secret agent of the resistance whose sole mission is to destroy the vampiric tyranny from within. But when a new power rises from the depths of Paris, Jeanne's mission takes an unexpected turn. A mysterious renegade, the Lady of Miracles, has amassed an army of ghouls and claimed the city's underworld as her own.

Tasked by the vampire king himself to hunt down this threatening rival, Jeanne is sent into the dark heart of a Paris transformed into a human farm. She must navigate the treacherous, gaslit streets and a subterranean court of horrors to eliminate the Lady of Miracles before her own sworn enemy can capture this new power and become truly invincible. Caught between a ruthless king and an enigmatic new foe, Jeanne is locked in a race against time where one wrong move could expose her secrets and plunge the eternal Grand Siècle into even deeper darkness.
