Mysteries unfold in this adventurous series set on an enigmatic island full of secrets and wonders - it's Lost for a younger generation.

Four children wake up on a deserted island. After taking refuge in an abandoned boarding school, they find an automaton who, every night at midnight, gives them a mission. If they fail or refuse to take up the challenge, the consequences could be terrible.

From mission to mission, the children explore their surroundings, encounter other participants, and try to discover the reasons behind their presence on this island...

About the Author

Lylian was born in 1975. As a child, he felt his reality was both strange and foreign, so he decided to reinvent it in order to make it his own. In 2004, Les Humanoides Associรฉs became interested in his work and published his first album, L'ร‰veil du Kurran, designed by Dune and co-written by Nori. In the following years, Lylian focused on writing the scripts of the series The Reverend, Kenji the Ninja, The Quest of Ewilan and Ellana. Passionate about comics, literature, psychology and film, Lylian is currently writing several series, adaptations and original stories that highlight his taste for the human feelings and energies that pass through and shape us.

A graduate of the ร‰cole Pivaut in Nantes, Nicolas Grebil is a cartoonist, colorist, and children's illustrator. He began his career illustrating Crรฉdit Mutuel calendars before being contacted by children's publishing houses to illustrate novels for dyslexic children. He then moved on to other, more graphic projects related to the world of entertainment. In 2019, he moved to La Rochelle where he juggled painting, school presentations, graphic projects, press illustrations, and children's illustrations. Finally, in 2023, he launched into children's comics, accompanied by Lylian on the script.
