Chronicles of Galadria II - Encounters (ePub)

I was born in 1989 in Annecy, France, where I lived the first 20 years of my life. Now, I live and work in Sweden, the land that my heart calls home.

It was at this period that Arthur Clément, a close friend of mine from childhood, became one of the most important people for me: he was present at each step of the process for discussing every aspect of "CoG", and is probably the only person who understands the full scope of this saga.
