finally, designer Jane Jensen has unveiled the latest mystery to puzzle her
intrepid shadow hunter...
We do hope you're not afraid of a little intrigue?
Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned is set in a small village and valley
in rural Europe. The village, Rennes-le-Chateau, is a real village and is the
location of a Great Enigma -- either that or a Great Scam, depending on your
level of belief
The case begins when Gabriel is invited for a weekend at the home of a
currently dethroned royal scion. Grace is delighted, assuming that at last
they're moving into the kinds of circles a family like the Ritters ought to
hobnob with. But it turns out that the 'Prince's' motivation for inviting
Gabriel was not a social one. He has a new infant son and is concerned for his
safety because the Prince's family has been plagued for generations by what seem
to be a secretive sect of vampires.
It turns out the Prince was right to be afraid. The very first night Gabriel
watches guard over his infant son the boy is kidnapped. Gabriel gives chase and
winds up at the train station. He follows the kidnappers to Rennes-le-Chateau
but quickly loses their trail.
Gabriel will come to realize that the mystery that surrounds the Prince's
family and the mystery of this ancient little town are not only connected, but
will involve both very real current political agendas and ancient secrets. Once
at the town, Gabriel discovers that a tour group arrived about the same time he
did. He considers all of the members of the tour suspects even, perhaps, his old
friend Mosely, who just happens to be 'on vacation' with the tour. Grace soon
joins him and while Gabriel investigates the suspects and his leads on the
kidnapping, Grace is convinced that the mystery is tied to the Rennes-le-Chateau's
enigma and she sets out to solve it.
Generation after generation of religious historians, researchers of the
occult and covetous treasure hunters have tried to reveal the truths hidden
there. Now it is Gabriel Knight's turn. Before he and his associate, Grace,
are done, they must rescue a missing heir and reveal secrets buried not
only in the hills of France but in the lineage of Gabriel Knight himself.
The compelling plot takes place in a real-time 3D virtual world featuring
highly detailed 3D animated characters.
