White Shadows

Deception can be a deadly thing . . .

A kidnapped prince may be the key to a kingdom in conflict. But the beast who took the boy may pose more threat than the hushed fairy tales suggest . . .

One of Antoine Carrion’s first published works, White Shadows is medieval intrigue in the fine tradition of George R.R. Martin, full of hidden political agendas woven between a wide cast of players who are individually deadset on occupying the throne. With hints of the supernatural underlying everyone’s fears, this tale by writer Antoine Ozanam will have you imagining what else might be at work. And given Antoine Carrion’s beautiful scenery, your imagination will be well fed.

Author Biography

Antoine Ozanam was born in Rouen in 1970, feeding on comics and alternative music throughout his youth. After studying visual communications, he started his professional career designing movie posters, music videos, CD-ROMs, and websites. In 1999, he released his first book, Hôtel Noir, a comic in which the characters are made of modeling clay. It wasn’t until 2004 that he decided to devote himself to a career as a writer. From that point on, he has written steadily, with dozens upon dozens of popular titles to his name. His works have spanned a wide range of tones and genres, from true historical thrillers such as The Diary of Anne Frank and Princess Caraboo, to supernatural fantasy and action. He may be best known for creating the popular long-running series KLAW with artist Joel Jurion. Launching his career under the pseudonym Tentacle Eye, Antoine entered comics in 2012 with the release of No Parasan (“They Shall Not Pass”), which immediately led to a non-stop string of projects lasting to this day. He has collaborated with Antoine Ozanam on numerous books, including Song of the Sabers and To Love (as Tentacle Eye), followed by The White Shadow and Temudjin (under his real name). He has since illustrated the dystopic fantasy Nils: The Tree of Life, written by Jerome Hamon, and is currently writing and illustrating a graphic novel adaptation of the classic play by Henrik Ibsen, Peer Gynt (which itself inspired the classical score by Edvard Grieg).
