“Diving into this universe, it is not only reding a story, it is being a part of it.”

THE BOOKS SERIES

Book I

In Helios’ kingdom, Words have a power. That of creating, balancing and then destroying the world. When they are pronounced, there is no turning back.

Arya, a young girl living in the capital, is passionate about books. She devours each and every of their words. But she is far from imagining that she is the key to save her kingdom, the only one to have restrained the use of magic thanks to a treaty. A treaty that the rebels are not fond of, being ready to do everything to eradicate it.

At the dawn of the incoming changes, Words wake up to establish the order within the chaos, the truth within illusions.

They are waiting for their call.

That of the Words Giver.

"CROSS OUT “NEVER” FROM YOUR VOCABULARY. THIS WORD CHASES DREAMS AND SETS BOUDARIES TO YOUR OWN DESTINY."

Book II

The Immerged City did not leave Arya and her companions unscathed.

Arya is back on the Narcisse, convinced by the two new power she conquered. She more than never believes in that unbreakable bond linking every person who accompanies her on her road and in the growing hope of finding her family and Helianthe’s heirs.

However, she has to face another reality.

That of a detour in the scorching dunes of the desert she cannot avoid, of a crossing of time and the discovery of loving souls ready to brave the forbidden.

The threat of the Glass soldiers, spreads like venom on the Lands of Helios and the danger increases more and more.

Arya knows it, the bonds of the heart and the truth will seal for ever her Words Giver destiny.

"NEVER FORGET : WE ARE TWO WANDERING STARS LOST IN A TOO VAST SKY, BUT ONE DAY WE WILL FIND OUR CONSTELLATION."

Book III

The truth has required many sacrifices, mix of ink and blood.

After the confrontation in Helianthe castle, Arya and her companions have been marked by loss, but the veil of illusions has finally been lifted.

Together, they keep running away and cross a new frontier.

Over there, the moon is queen and memories hold many old secrets.

In Moonarch, the Words Giver has never been as close to her own history and the memory of her predecessors. Each and every revelation will change her soul and the deep and spiritual nature of her quest.

More than never, Arya will have to understand who she is, what is expected from her, and to fight. Against the Miasmes and her emotions. Against enemies more and more dark, her own demons and that of others, and the dark schemes of the Eidolôn.

To distinguish the truth from the lies, she’ll need to trust her companions and new allies loyalty, ready to pledge allegiance and believe in her to heal Helios’ wrongs.

The travel moves on in a dangerous and broken kingdom, where everything can happen. The worst or the better. Ashes or stardust.

"TO BE HELPED DOES NOT MEAN FAILING, BUT SHARING THE VICTORY."

Book IV

While the rebellion gets ready under the name of the Words Giver, a pressure grows heavy on Arya’s shoulders.

On her way to the corrupted city of Palladium, she approaches with her companions Aidan conspiracies… until they discover that chaos, like crystals, own many faces.

The Words Giver destiny keeps writing itself for the hearts echoing in the name of liberty.

"I COULD HAVE TEARED DOWN THE WORLD FOR THE WORDS GIVER, BUT SHE WILL DO IT FOR ME."

Chloe, bookseller | Sauramps Odyssée

“Alric and Jennifer Twice, two authors with an indeniable and promising talent. Without a doubt one of the best young adult fantasy saga in the making.”

THE WRITERS

Soulmates both in writing and in life, Alric and Jennifer Twice are the authors of the successful French fantasy saga «La Passeuse de Mots» («The Words Giver»), published by Hachette Romans.

Words reunited them in 2014 and their common vocation became an evidence : that of gathering all the souls craving for an escape, dreams and bounds.

The Words Giver is their first four-hand written book, an epic, poetic and hypersensitive saga born from two complementary writings that merged to form one only.

Today, they have several feathers in their inkwell. Between fantasy, dark academia, romantasy or even contemporary, they are not ready to close the doors to more worlds and universes.

In 2025, they share a whole new story : «Jusqu'au plus profond des Astres» («In the deepest of the stars»), published by Gulf Stream Éditeur. First of the two volumes with seizing atmosphere, the novel combines sciences, magic, and dark academia while wondering about loss, memory and personal quest.
