Chronicles of Verdant Realm

Virginie, a thirty-year-old single mother, finds her mundane life running a tobacco shop in Royan shattered when her children, Jasmin and Quantin, mysteriously vanish. Driven by a primal, desperate love, she uncovers a hidden portal within a forgotten bookshelf - a gateway to a verdant, anachronistic realm ruled by an enigmatic, ancient forest spirit. Armed with only her fierce maternal instinct and the surprising insight gained from years of cataloging countless stories as a nascent bouquiniste, Virginie must navigate this perilous new world. She soon discovers that her children are not merely lost, but pawns in a cosmic struggle for the realm's very essence. Virginie must become the hero her children need, even if it means confronting the deepest parts of herself she’s long neglected.
