  *-- Aristotle*
  
  
  Deep in the heart of the rural South of France, there are people who are…not like you, exactly, so much as similarly unlike anyone else. Almost a century ago, the Abbey was founded. Formerly an abandoned monastery, it now houses a secretive colony of over one hundred carefully selected artists from all over the world. 
  
  Of those who go in, many emerge to gain fame and renown, others to teach at well known schools, and still others take paths of their own choosing. Some simply stay, and vacancies are few and far between. Happily, four have recently opened up. You and three fortunate others have been chosen to fill them.
  
  But all is not as it seems.  Whatever your unique way of perceiving and expressing the world is, be ready to use it. As the Abbey falls into jeopardy, you’ll need what’s always felt a little like magic.
  
  *”Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.”*
  *-- Oscar Wilde*
