Strasbourg Stories

How about some History, huh? Today we'll be learning about the Dancing Plague back in 1518 in Strasbourg, France. This is my favourite piece of history, even though history is a sad and grim thing. Enjoy.

Dans une maison silencieuse d'Illkirch-Graffenstaden, une chanson macabre tourne en boucle au beau milieu de la nuit. Alertée pour tapage nocturne, la police découvre alors une scène de crime d'une violence inimaginable : un couple de retraités sauvagement dépecé, disséqué, dispersé comme les fragments d'un puzzle anatomique. Aucun témoin. Aucune chronologie fiable. Aucun mobile évident. Le commandant Francisco De Sanctis, ancien philosophe devenu enquêteur criminel, plonge alors dans une affaire où la psychologie humaine semble plus inquiétante encore que la mort elle-même. Tic. Tac.

Strasbourg, 1793. Born into one of the city's most influential families, Adèle de Monroy grows up surrounded by privilege, power, and carefully guarded secrets. As revolution reshapes France and old loyalties begin to crumble, she discovers that the world she trusted is built upon deception. Behind political alliances and noble reputations hides an organization known as Faith - a movement that claims to guide society toward order and salvation. But beneath its noble image lies a network of manipulation, corruption, and violence. As Adèle uncovers the truth, she is forced to choose between loyalty to her family and loyalty to her conscience. Every answer reveals a deeper conspiracy, every step forward carries a greater cost, and every choice pushes her closer to a fate she cannot escape. Set against the turbulent aftermath of the French Revolution, The Ashes of Faith is a story of power, sacrifice, betrayal, and the devastating price of truth.

Hugh wrote a diary, this time, it was his point of view, of a girl called Lily, who changed his meaning of life. I know it maybe too soon, but can we start again?
