About this eBook

Princess Natty of Orchidhali is a member of the floral caste and lives in a luxurious, sunshine-filled palace covered. Had she not neglected her studies of sacred texts and tradition, she'd have learned that refusing all of candidates presented to her for marriage would result in her death! She is forced to flee her palace and ends up in the dark realm of the Untouchables, the very lowest caste of society, where a strange form of leprosy reigns. One of the Untouchables, Sami, doesn't seem to suffer as badly as the others. As Natty develops a friendship with Sami, she discovers that he owes his relative beauty to his activity as a mushroom trafficker. In exchange for the valuable fungi, Sami obtains time exposed to the sun: in fact, it is the complete absence of sun from the Untouchables' realm that leads to their deformed bodies and skin. Together, Sami and Natty make a plan to leave the shadows of the underworld and return to the light. But just as they are about to make their escape, a battalion of soldiers arrives...

About the author

Corbeyran was born in Marseille 1964, and now lives and works in Bordeaux. After dabbling in photography, children's stories and advertising, he turned his attention once and for all to scriptwriting for comic books. He has since published around forty titles for various different publishers, among which Dargaud, Delcourt and Casterman. Insatiably curious, and a lover of images and anecdotes, Corbeyran is interested in a huge variety of subjects and has worked in all sorts of different genres: fantasy, history, thrillers, adventure, crime... You name it, he's done it. From his regular collaborations with Berlion, Falque and Guérineau came certain titles that today have become an integral part of the Franco-Belgian comic book landscape, such as "Le Cadet des Soupetard," "Sales mioches!", "Le Fond du monde" and "Le Chant des Stryges." In 1999, Corbeyran authored a new album in the Dargaud 'Long Courrier' collection, "Lie-de-vin," which was nominated for the Alph'Art award for best album at Angoulême the following year. In the years to follow, he showed his full range with Dargaud, putting out the fantasy series "Nanami" (Europe Comics 2019) as well as "Okhéania" (Europe Comics 2017), the latter set in a land where the ocean is a great sea of leaves. His most recent work includes the drama "Le Maître chocolatier" (Le Lombard; "The Master Chocolatier," Europe Comics 2019), alongside Bénédicte Gourdon and Denis Chetville.
