The Wizard of Bones

The day which should have been that of great happiness, was that of immense despair. During the wedding of Princess Rune and Prince Lunn, a bullet coming from who knows where, hits the prince in the heart. On the advice of an astrologer, the princess, mad with pain, goes to ask for help from the magician of Bones, a being with a bad reputation. He agrees to resurrect Lunn only if she agrees to stay with him forever. Rune thus finds herself prisoner of the magician and his strange mansion concealing many secrets. Lunn, unhappy and desperate, decides to go in search of his beloved. But he meets the magician first... A tale in an original format: book with a hard and sober cover revealing part of the interior illustration. The elongated format reminiscent of the slender magician himself, the edges of the black pages consistent with the interior illustrations, the blackness opposing the whiteness of the cover. Text: Eric Sanvoisin, Illustrations: Gilles Francescano, 128 pages. Youth novel from 9 years old.
