For fans of Nimona and Snapdragon comes a medieval fantasy steeped in mystery and a haunting and hopeful tale of transformation and found family.
Born with paper-white skin, Martino is an outcast. To the villagers, albinism is more than a curiosity—it’s a curse. Bullied and shunned, Martino seeks refuge in the deep woods—and finds it in Viviana. Powerful and beautiful, Viviana belongs to a sisterhood of outcast women. Martino is welcomed into the fold and, drawing on the magic of the forest, is reborn.
Irene Marchesini
Irene Marchesini, born in Modena, Italy, in 1994, quickly realized that, as well as her immeasurable love for cartoons and comics, she had an all-encompassing passion for writing to contend with. She completely ignored this vital need of hers until she decided to attend the International School of Comics in Reggio Emilia, focusing on scriptwriting. She then tried her hand at a career as cartoonist through small local projects, which she later opted to cast aside when her collaboration with Carlotta Dicataldo became a reality with Rebis, their first
creation together.
