Description
In this medieval fantasy steeped in mystery, Italian duo Irene Marchesini and Carlotta Dicataldo deliver a breathtakingly beautiful tale of trauma, transformation, and sisterhood.
Born with paper-white skin, Martino is an outcast. To the villagers, albinism is more than a curiosity—it's a curse. Shunned and bullied, Martino finds refuge in the forest...even though some say a witch lives there.
In a tiny cottage deep in the forest, Viviana survives on what nature provides. It's a simple, contented life...as long as she doesn't think of the past.
When fate brings these lost souls together, they form a family of two. Martino finally knows what it means to be loved and accepted, and drawing on the power of the forest, experiences a magical rebirth.
