A shiny silver coin appears in the life of Caius Strauss. The coin is a gift from a hideous moon-faced stranger, and it is impossible to discard: Caius can throw it in the river, or bury it in the garbage, but it always reappears in his pocket. It is the key to a neighborhood that does not exist on maps, a dark world inhabited by characters with deadly powers and full of mysterious places. One of these is a bookstore, where objects capable of making dark desires come true are sold for the price of blood. In the corrupt heart of an apocalyptic Paris, a terrible revelation awaits Caius: he is the Wunderkind, the young boy for whom the inhabitants of this hidden area are prepared to die, and who the moon-faced man is prepared to kill.
