“Absolutely everyone should read!” – says Christelle Dabo, author of the world bestseller “Through the Mirrors” about “The Secrets of Larispem”. Following the “mirror” book fever, the “Larispem fever” begins. And this is not surprising - they have a lot in common: strong independent heroines and dizzying adventures, dangerous conspiracies and mystical abilities... But the French writer Lucie Pierra-Pageau makes the setting of her novel not a fantasy world and mysterious Arks, but Paris. Only Paris, never seen before. It is no longer the capital of France, but an independent city-state, and is now called Larispem - in the jargon of the butchers who have become the new power here. Steam cars race through the streets, patrol robots keep order, and intercontinental airships float in the sky. And all thanks to the fact that Larispem proclaimed science as the main value - now the best minds from all over the world are flocking here, as if to the Silicon Valley of their time. But this realized dream of Jules Verne has a dark side, stained with blood. There are rumors that the aristocrats who survived the revolution are hiding in the very heart of Larispem and are preparing a terrible revenge... Three young heroes, without knowing it, find themselves at the center of their conspiracy. Liberte is able to repair any equipment and even defuse a bomb. Her best friend Carmina's weapons are butcher knives and a sharp word. And the orphan Nathanael has a mysterious and terrible gift... The young French writer Lucie Pierrat-Pageau (born in 1986) masterfully builds a world of alternative history with an eye on video games and TV series like “Westworld”. An adventurous novel in steampunk aesthetics, dystopia, detective intrigue, gothic literature with dark secrets and prophecies and modern girl power - everything is intertwined in the trilogy about Larispem, captivating from the first lines. It is no coincidence that the first book in Lucie Pierre-Pageau's trilogy, "Voice of Blood", was unanimously awarded the jury's victory in the debut novel competition for teenagers, organized by Gallimard Jeunesse, the RTL channel and Télérama magazine.
