    About this ebook

    The wind is not your enemy...

     

    On the leafy planet Luurdu, young Adalou dreams of becoming a wind mistress. Alas, she faces a thorny competition because the kite choregraphy brings a high prestige to women who excel in the art. 

    Adalou must overcome her family's opposition, her biological limits and the jealousy of high-class rivals to conquer her own place in the sun.  
     
    A graphic novel set in the universe of the space-faring Gardeners, sprouting from the fertile imagination of Michèle Laframboise.
