Linda Saint Jalmes

    This author has been writing since she learned to substitute sounds with letters, and drawing since always, initially drawn by the scent of crayons or paint, later to give form to the universe of her imaginary world. Adolescence brought periods of flowery poetry that shifted to dark and tormented verses when she struggled with oral expression. For the past four years, poetry, illustrated tales, and novels have set the tone of her days, leading to the creation of the 'Children of the Gods' saga. Her work is a testament to her inner world and her drive for artistic expression.

    The curse of Kalaan
    • 2016

      Egypt - November 7th, 1828 For Kalaan Phoebus, the count of Croz, a surprise encounter with Jean-Francois Champollion on the outskirts of the ancient Egyptian city of Tell el-Amarna was providence knocking at his door. Champollion, an eminent scholar, was the only person capable of deciphering the hieroglyphs on the wall at entrance of the mysterious edifice that the young nobleman had just discovered. But was it really providence? For, on entering the unusual structure, the count is struck by a curse. From that moment on, he has only one way to counter the vile punishment of the ancient gods; and that is return to his home in Brittany to seek the guardian of the stones."
