The Hunt for an Ancient Artifact PARIS, 1889 — The city is at the height of progress. The World Exposition has breathed new life into the streets, but it has also brought ancient secrets to light. Treasure hunter and wealthy hotelier Séverin Montagnet-Alarie knows everything that rustles in the metropolis. By coincidence, he is forced to collaborate with the powerful Babylonian Order. Séverin would normally not lift a finger for the members of the order, but the reward is a treasure that the young man never even dreamed of: his rightful inheritance. Thus, in the hunt for an ancient artifact, he assembles a group of unlikely experts: a designer with an unpaid debt, a historian who has lost his home, a dancer with a dark past, and his brother-in-arms. Together, they embark on an adventurous journey into the sparkling and dangerous depths of Paris, and what they discover may change the course of history — if the group can manage to stay alive long enough.
