Audiobook
Part local legend of a dark and dangerous Wolf-Leader, part childhood memories of his home near Villers-Cotterets, in Aisne, Dumas here penned a chilling supernatural encounter between man and the devil. Our hero, Thibault the shoemaker, is beaten on the orders of the Lord of Vez for hunting in the lord's forest. With Thibault's resentment at his treatment by the world at its height, the devil sees his chance and, in the guise of a wolf, proposes a deal which Thibault accepts; the ever available trade of one's soul for evil power. With a pack of demon possessed wolves at his command, Thibault begins to explore his new power tentatively, hesitant to do evil, but unable to help himself, the momentum of the tale grown in surprising and horrifying ways until the unexpected climax.

Le premier lundi du mois d'avril 1625, le bourg de Meung voit le jeune d'Artagnan, gentilhomme pauvre de Gascogne, en route vers Paris pour entrer dans la compagnie des mousquetaires du roi Louis XIII, se faire humilier par deux inconnus, dont il ignore qu'ils sont agents du cardinal de Richelieu : le comte de Rochefort et Milady de Winter. Rochefort lui dérobe la lettre de recommandation écrite par son père à l'intention de M. de Tréville, capitaine des mousquetaires du roi. À Paris, d'Artagnan se présente quand même à M. de Tréville, qui ne peut lui promettre une place dans sa compagnie. En sortant de l'hôtel, alors qu'il cherche à rattraper Rochefort, d'Artagnan provoque, bien malgré lui, les trois mousquetaires en duel, en heurtant l'épaule blessée d'Athos, en se prenant les pieds dans le manteau de Porthos et en ramassant un mouchoir compromettant d'Aramis.
