Title : The Wolves of Lauzargues, volume 1 - Jean de la nuit - Juliette Benzoni - book

Summary :

In the uncertain and troubled Paris of Charles X, a scandal erupts at the end of 1827. Having surprised his wife in gallant company at a reception, the banker Granier de Berny is said to have killed her before taking his own life. Wealth, fortune, beauty, all the fairies had leaned over the cradle of Hortense, their only daughter, whose destiny now seems shattered. The tragic end of her parents is far from clear when she must return to the gloomy castle of her uncle, the Marquis de Lauzargues, in Auvergne, to bury her youth. On the way to the castle, from the depths of the forest, preceded by a pack of menacing wolves, emerges a large blue-eyed devil, Jean. "Jean of the night," whose first glance pierces the orphan's heart. By painting a striking picture of a confused and colorful era, Juliette Benzoni, a flamboyant novelist, rediscovers the secret of Alexandre Dumas, the one that consists of violating history to give it the most beautiful children.
