About the Author
Lylian was born in 1975. As a child, he felt his reality was both strange and foreign, so he decided to reinvent it in order to make it his own. In 2004, Les Humanoides Associés became interested in his work and published his first album, L'Éveil du Kurran, designed by Dune and co-written by Nori. In the following years, Lylian focused on writing the scripts of the series The Reverend, Kenji the Ninja, The Quest of Ewilan and Ellana. Passionate about comics, literature, psychology and film, Lylian is currently writing several series, adaptations and original stories that highlight his taste for the human feelings and energies that pass through and shape us.
