Synopsis

Little Hélène Jégado had always been different. Schooled in the ancient beliefs of the Breton people by her mother, the beautiful child grows up feeling detached from the nineteenth-century world around her and yet destined for a terrible vocation: to do the work of the Ankou, death's henchman. Beginning with the demise of her very own maman... Jean Teulé brings his unique blend of imagination and historical insight to the startling tale of history's most notorious female poisoner and her decades-long killing spree.
