LES MEMOIRES DE VANITAS - Tome 1

The end of the 19th century. Paris is in turmoil following repeated vampire attacks. Yet the golden rule of their community is not to attack humans! A mysterious evil seems to be eating away at these immortal creatures...

It is at this troubled time that Noah arrives in the capital. He follows the trail of the Vanitas grimoire, a legendary artefact feared by all vampires. It is said to allow its holder to interfere with what is most sacred to them: their true name, the very symbol of their life. Changing it can drive them mad, or even destroy them...

Aboard the huge floating ship he has boarded, Noah meets Amelia. As he helps her to recover from an illness, everything goes haywire: she loses her mind and reveals her vampire nature to the passengers! That's when a mysterious assailant appears on the scene, introducing himself as... Vanitas! In front of a stunned Noé, he draws out the famous grimoire and soothes the young woman's fit of madness. So the artefact wasn't just a deadly weapon? Vanitas, heir to the name and power of the book's creator, has a mission: to save the vampires from the curse that hangs over them!
