Three monks—Paul, Pierre, and Hughes—unearth a marble statue of a goddess hidden in the monastery garden. Its arms and bosom evoke both pious terror and mysterious excitement. Could it be the ancient Venus herself? This discovery leads to a forbidden history, drawing the listener into the dark world of Averoigne. Will the daring monks uncover the truth about this enigmatic figure?
