of Jean Valjean. The duo unites and work to create a better life for
themselves away from the city.
Following the events of Les Misérables Volume One: Fantine, Jean
Valjean is once again on the wrong side of the law. After being

conditions and attempts to remove her from the innkeepers care.
Together, Jean and Cosette break away from the clutches of the owners as
well as the cruel Inspector Javert.
