By

L’Année des 5 Mondes · Volume 1

An empty burial chamber. A severed cable. A dead woman erased.

On Nacre, cities float above the depths. Ena Sorel knows their dangers. But when she retrieves a burial chamber whose occupant has disappeared, the evidence looks nothing like an accident.

ENTER THE STORY

Nacre and its submerged identities

Ena Sorel is searching for someone a register can no longer locate. Among Nacre’s floating cities, her investigation moves between underwater remains and the secrets of those closest to her. A name can unlock aid, receive a payment or authorize a decision for another person. Ena’s discovery gives a face to people the other worlds know only through their files.

01

Ena Sorel

The trail leads to borrowed identities, agreements signed for absent people and a voice her family thought lost. Each answer makes the past less certain. Ena must consider what those closest to her have concealed.

02

Find the people erased from the records

Decisions on the other planets of Orme are already reaching Nacre. People erased from the records still bind the living to commitments. Finding someone will not be enough: they must regain the right to speak for themselves.

03

Investigation and family secrets

Les noyés sans nom opens L’Année des 5 Mondes with an investigation into identity, grief and family secrets. An ocean world and a self-contained local mystery reveal the first clues to events unfolding across five planets in the same year.
