The Book of Berber Magic is the story of an intrepid reporter, battling inner demons and the impending threat of the Jihadists, as she sets out across Morocco on the mission of a lifetime to give the Berbers their rightful place in history. The journey begins inside a spirited house in war-torn Casablanca when her boat, destined for Africa, docks to avoid a new plague. A group of researchers work feverishly inside. Their mission is to complete a monumental compendium containing the secret lores of the Berbers. But will time run out? One fateful afternoon, Samira becomes the guardian of The Book. She sets out across the Red Kingdom with two special guides. Fifty years later, her little companion, Sophie, recounts the tale to a young reporter from Le Monde. What happened in those dark days in Morocco? Who was Professor Westermarck, The Witch, and the Dervishes? This is a magical universe, where fact meets fiction, and the past and future collide. Where Morocco, past and present, is brought to life in front of your eyes.

Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lighthearted
