This is the era of Louis XIV the Sun King. Mystical Poets write their poems in the blood of young maidens in order to gain power. The poems are call for an uprising against the government. The police force and French army have proved useless in stopping these murderous Poets. Only one person is able to rise against them, and she's dead. She fights through her brother d'Eon de Beaumont's body, slaying the Poets and retrieving their poems for revenge, as the Poets were the ones who took her life.
