Product description:
Takes place in 1665 in New France at a time when a part of Canada was colonialized by France. Joseph Côté escapes from a prison in order to avoid death by hanging. Moreover, while some colonial soldiers are chasing him, Joseph takes the identity of a Jesuit and hides in the seigneury of Beaufort where most men are waiting for "daughters of the king." (French women who were sent to Canada in order to find a husband.) At night, Joseph finds out that there are werewolves that terrorize the village. Besides, things get complicated when he falls in love with Marie Labotte, a "daughter of the king" that no one wants to marry. All in all, by simply trying to protect his life and Marie's, Joseph will end up fighting against the werewolves.

-----

Au moment où les filles du Roy débarquent en Nouvelle-France, Joseph Côté, séducteur notoire condamné à mort, s’évade et vole l’identité d’un jésuite, le Père Brind’amour. Ignorant qu’il s’agit d’un héros légendaire ayant chassé les monstres qui hantaient la colonie, le faux curé se réfugie dans la Seigneurie de Beaufort, ravagée par des bêtes mystérieuses, où on l’attend comme un sauveur.
