QUEST OF EWILAN HC #1
FROM ONE WORLD TO ANOTHER
(W) LYLIAN (A) Laurence Baldetti (CA) Laurence Baldetti
13-year-old Camille's life is forever changed when, trying to avoid an oncoming truck, she falls through a portal to a parallel world called Gwendalavir. There, she's immediately threatened by creatures called Ts'liches, who claim that they've been searching for her so they can kill her! Luckily she's zapped back home, but her best friend Salim is skeptical of her story...until giant spiders attack them from the other side. Soon she discovers the secret of her past: she was born on Gwendalavir, the daughter of two powerful magicians who sent her to our world for her protection. Camille has inherited a tremendous gift: magic drawing, the ability to manifest things by envisioning them in her mind. As the battle for two worlds intensifies, she hones the skills that might be a decisive weapon in the struggle of her people to regain power and restore freedom and dignity to Gwendalavir.
QUEST OF EWILAN HC #2
AKIRO
(W) LYLIAN (A) Laurence Baldetti (CA) Laurence Baldetti
As this epic and grand fantasy continues, 13-year-old Camille comes to accept the fact that she's really the daughter of two powerful magicians from a parallel world. She has inherited a tremendous gift-the power to imaginate, the ability to manifest things by creating a mental image of them. The battle against the evil Ts'liches has intensified, and Ewilan may be the Empire's last hope. She's joined on her quest by her best friend Salim, Edwin the master of arms, the colossal Bjorn, Maniel, the old Master Duom, and their newest recruit-Ellana, the astonishing Shadowalker. Their first objective is to awaken the Sentinels, but to do that, Master Duom sends Camille back to the human world to locate the person who can best do the job-her brother Akiro! But the Ts'liches uncover her plan and send a Chaos mercenary to kill them both! Advance solicited for September. Pierre Bottero has created a startlingly coherent imaginary universe that recalls the worlds of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Philip Pullman.
