Le Grimoire d'Elfie #2

A red-haired girl clutches a glowing grimoire as spectral creatures swirl around her against a warm Provençal landscape — it's a wonderfully inviting image that balances childhood wonder with a hint of the uncanny. Created by Arleston, Alwett, and Mini Ludvin, this second volume of Le Grimoire d'Elfie — subtitled Le Dit des Cigales — promises more magical mischief, with small vignettes on the cover hinting at a curious cat, an enigmatic book, and other mysteries tucked into the story. Published by Drakoo in 2021, it's a charming blend of sun-drenched Southern French atmosphere and fantasy that makes it easy to see why this series captures readers young and old.
