17-year-old Koline dreams of getting out of the dull, gloomy suburb where she lives and where nothing ever happens. It’s true that one boy – the dark, mysterious Aurel – seems very interested in her, but Koline always pushes him away. The day when she will finally be able to leave for somewhere else seems infinitely far away.And then, one evening, at the town youth center… a party that just gets duller and duller, a few drunk friends, a little dabbling in magic… and a strange potion is tossed into the waters of the lake. The next morning, two students are missing from roll call. Acts of violence begin to be committed in the town. In this disturbed and disturbing environment, Koline draws gradually closer to Aurel, and unearths his astounding secret: Afflicted by lycanthropy, he is under an obligation to join the Nouri, an ancient secret society of sorcerers who have the power to take animal form. But Koline’s very life will be threatened by her discovery. Do the two young people dare to fall in love, although everything in the world separates their communities from each other?A tale heavily tilted toward romance and adventure! The element of magic provides an opportunity to explore themes relating to adolescence: coming of age, of course, but also the challenges and possibility of growing into the real world without abandoning your dreams.
