Synopsis

The auctioneer presented the ancient manuscript, the Corpus Hermeticum, a treasure said to hold absolute knowledge and ignite the most fervent desires. But as he did, he succumbed to a fit of delirium, collapsing dead before the assembled crowd. It became clear he had been poisoned, and in his final moments of panic, the priceless book had been replaced with a forgery. Astrid and Raphaëlle found themselves drawn to this object, captivated by its promise and the dangerous allure it represented.
