Nathan Gudin is an archeologist responsible for the preservation and discovery of artifacts on Mont-Saint-Michel. He learns there are people on the Mont with an ancient history who have a connection to a cult of St. Michael the Archangel. Among them, Nathan associates with an enigmatic Benedictine monk, a mysterious man who seems connected to the ancient Bayeaux tapestry, and a young woman who appears when he needs help. Nathan aids the monk in retrieving an Accord that indicates a direct connection between the monk’s friends and St. Michael.
