A Tale of
The Beast of Gévaudan

Paris, France, January 1803

In the aftermath of the French Revolution, Prime Minister, Jean Lupus, is building a French democracy and a new military that is to be known as the WolfGuard. Compromising the development, a string of gruesome deaths start popping up all over Paris. Hysteria spreads as witches, werewolves and vampires blame each other for the violent deaths, causing unrest with the humans who are on the verge of another revolution. Having exhausted all other resources, Jean's wife and his second-in-command call upon a ruthless, terrifying monster to end this elusive beast's tyranny.

Upcoming Release

Two teenagers barely survive a triple homicide bloodbath. 

 

Gwen wakes up in a hospital where she is interviewed by a bizarre psychiatrist, Dr. Fae Calliagh. This undercover witch acts the part of empathetic therapist to uncover the true reason why Gwen was nearly murdered by unusual magical circumstances.  

 

Covered in the blood of the three victims, Dom is taken into police custody as the prime suspect. As Detective Keith Livee interrogates Dom, he starts to sniff out that something more sinister is involved.  

​

In recounting the events that lead up to the crime, these two dare not reveal the greatest taboo of all: That Gwen, a preacher's daughter, fell in love with Dom, a powerful witch with a unique magical ability called the Devil’s Snare.

 

As the clock ticks down and secrets are revealed, the real threat closes in to finish off the two survivors. To save these teenagers, the detective and doctor must partner up to subdue the demon and hide both teenagers away where the Inquisition and witch hunters can’t find them.
