Chloé, an archivist and bibliographer living in Brittany, has developed a passionate interest in a curious ancient manuscript found in the family home. She has just killed her husband because he beat her constantly, so on his boat at sea, she shot him. She then flees away to the Scandinavian Island of Heldenskøn where her father, a famous author full of secrets, had been born and raised. There, she discovers a far-flung monastery on the moors. She settles into a seemingly cosy pension run by Grégoire, an enigmatic professor.
At first, she feels safe with this new life in a new town. But then, she becomes beset with doubts. Is she really safe? Is her husband really dead? Sleepless nights drive her to find out more about the old manuscript. According to this ancient book, there has been a secret society of mute women living underground for centuries, right here on the Island. These librarians would have been tasked with guarding all humanity’s knowledge and secrets for all eternity. Does such a society exist? What if the manuscript wanted Chloé to take it back to where it belongs? And… why is Grégoire so interested in the book?
