A melody played on the violin. Then the pages of a book that we turn, a door that opens. So, the legend of Maldoror wakes up…
On the borders of a turbulent Europe, while the revolution rumbles, five young people meet around a strange threat. From Vienna to Odessa, from kyiv to the plains of Siberia, they are pursued by the secret police and hunted down by a cruel and tyrannical Ataman. Linked by their friendship and a destiny beyond them, they advance on the way to a vanished kingdom… Maldoror. Les enfants de la Légende is the first volume of the Maldoror trilogy, a great adventure story tinged with fantasy and punctuated by Slavic music.
