His favorite quote:

You are very naive if you believe that magic is done only by spells. There are hundreds of ways to do it! And each art has its own magic, in its own way, through the feelings it seeks to inspire (…)

Why this book?

• Because this novel offers a beautiful moment of entertainment and allows you to escape into finely described landscapes, ranging from the desert to angry volcanoes, while exploiting the existence of a half-fantastic, half-realistic bestiary.
• Because volume I, Entropia’s Awakening was already a captivating read, and this second volume full of action, fights and magic is even more thrilling!
• Because volume II highlights powerful female characters including Amber, the sensual elf and Louane the intelligent archer, themselves protecting the chosen of the gods Cordelia. This circumvents the classic codes of fantasy, which makes the saga modern and ambitious.
