BEYOND THE SEA WALLS

The great tide is coming

From Veyr’s quays to the old shores, their investigation carries them away from the city’s certainties. Each return to the house makes the future it offers harder to refuse.

THE PLEASURE OF READING

An adult romantasy in one complete volume

A standalone fantasy romance told through Eline’s and Malo’s viewpoints. Their relationship develops slowly, between mistrust and desire; sensuality remains suggested. Sisterhood, the consequences of choices and the freedom to decide one’s future run through this maritime adventure.

CONTINUE THE DISCOVERY

A maritime adventure where love leaves room for choice

The house offers Eline and Malo an intimate life that already seems established. Yet familiarity does not settle the question of what they truly want. Restoration work, mother-of-pearl objects and places transformed by the sea give abandoned possibilities a tangible shape. The investigation develops through the characters’ actions, memories and decisions about what to tell each other.

Lise’s disappearance gives the journey its urgency. It connects the relationship between the protagonists to sisterhood, old decisions and responsibility. A possible second chance also raises questions about the difference between regret and desire. The illustrations accompany the discovery without revealing the ending. This is an English overview of the forthcoming French novel.
