Where shadows end, the hunt begins.

From the darkly prolific mind of creator Jane Jensen comes the second Gabriel Knight® mystery: The Beast Within. We find Schattenjäger, or shadow hunter, Gabriel and his assistant Grace Nakimura deeply embroiled in a murderous mystery that unravels half a world away.

Gabriel confronts his own demons while Grace traces an historical mystery, that of the strange demise of Mad King Ludwig II. The hunters become the hunted, and the only hope for deliverance lies in the most desperate of schemes…
