THE year is 1891 – young Léonie Vernier and her brother arrive in southwest France to stay with their aunt, whose mountain estate, the Domain, is famous in the region.

But it soon becomes clear that their aunt — and the Domain — are not what Léonie had imagined.

The villagers claim that her late husband died after summoning a demon from the old Visigoth sepulchre high on the mountainside.

A book from the Domain’s cavernous library describes the strange tarot pack that mysteriously disappeared following the uncle’s death.

But while Léonie delves deeper into the ancient mysteries of the Domain, a different evil stalks her family — one which may explain why Léonie and Anatole were invited to the sinister Domain in the first place.
