A direct continuation of PETIT and HALF-BLOOD, this third book in the
series of standalone tales explores another part of the dark, fairy tale
world created by author Hubert and illustrator Bertrand Gatignol, this
time focusing on those humans who live outside the kingdom amidst the
dangerous surrounding wilderness. Lours is an aging leader of a
passionate rebel clan who seeks to defend their traditions and territory
from those who would take it from them, including the Chamberlain of the
nearby kingdom and the giant Ogre Gods who rule above them. When he
comes across a fleeing giant barely taller than a bear, he brings the
wounded curiosity into their camp and nurses him back to health with
plans that could help them define a new order. But this tiny giant has
an agenda of his own -- young Petit has the wellbeing of his human love
at the forefront of his priorities, and she has become an unwitting pawn
in the Chamberlain's wicked plans...
This internationally celebrated series of dark fantasy tales have been
described as Game of Thrones in a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, presented
as if a Disney animated feature.
