The Tribe vol. 2 - The Legend of the Beast

Content : The Beast of Gévaudan is spreading terror in the small village where the cousins gathers for Christmas…

As every year, the Tribe gathers to celebrate Christmas in a different region of France, specially chosen by their great-grandfather Claude, a renowned storyteller and folklorist. This time, they are heading to Auvergne, more precisely Gévaudan. And when you mention Gévaudan, you can’t help but think of… the legend of the Beast!

For now, Achille and Jade have been sent to fetch a cheese platter from their holiday cottage in the village. At the shop, the owner shows them a newspaper article about the Beast supposedly having returned to the area!

On their way back, Jade is fascinated by a little dog whose breed she can’t identify, while Achille notices some unusually large footprints in the snow. As heavy snow begins to fall, the cousins have the unsettling feeling that they are being watched.

What if the legend of the Beast… was actually true?
