The Songs of Loss, book one : Armanth

Jawaad the merchant-master is known as the white wolf, for his solitary, misanthropic nature, his secrets, his adventurous life and his strange friends. And for his wealth, the benefits of which he seems to disdain. Which is surely his most shocking habit for luxury-loving Athémaïs.
Lisa the earthling is just an orphaned teenager, a junkie who destroyed her own existence, her artistic gifts for drawing, her older sister's life. She should have died in a dark corner somewhere in Paris. But Loss has snatched her up, and an even crueler destiny begins for her. A destiny in which she must find the strength to survive.
Jawaad is looking for a red-haired, green-eyed earthling. No one has ever known why. But he's going to find her.
And in the midst of the intrigues and plots of Armanth, the city of the Master Merchants, their destinies will intersect, linking them intimately. Together, they will draw friends, allies and enemies into a quest that will elude them, and decide the fate and destiny of an entire world.

The Songs of Loss is a planet-fantasy saga with a clockpunk vibe planned for nine volumes, of which this is the first, written by Axelle Psychee Bouet. It has been published since 2015 in french.
