La Compagnie Hyde
A recruited human confronts permanent monstrous transformation to battle demonic forces.
Gabriel Andreas enters a hidden network known as La Compagnie Hyde, an agency dedicated to monitoring and fighting creatures like vampires, werewolves and ghouls that hide inside regular human society. Members of this secretive group must undergo perilous physical changes that turn them into monsters themselves, carrying the constant threat of a permanent loss of humanity. During his time learning the duties of the agency, demonic entities launch targeted attacks against the organization, placing Gabriel directly in danger as he attempts to survive the dual threats of external enemies and internal bodily corruption.
Romain Combes sets this narrative within contemporary society where the general public views supernatural creatures like vampires and werewolves as purely fictional, unaware that a secret organization operates among them to monitor these entities and protect humanity from hidden dangers.
