Death of a Shadow
by Tom Van Avermaet
Nathan est mort. Son ombre est prisonnière d’un étrange collectionneur qui lui a donné une seconde chance : sa vie contre 10 000 ombres capturées. C’est l’amour qui le guide, car son but est de revoir la femme dont il est tombé amoureux. Nathan a déjà capturé 9999 ombres.
Soldier Nathan Rijckx died during World War I. A strange collector imprisoned his shadow and gave him a new chance: a second life against 10000 captured shadows. It is love that guides him, as his purpose is to meet Sarah again, the woman he fell in love with before he died. But when he discovers that she’s already in love with someone else, jealousy clouds his mind and pushes him towards a bitter decision, a decision not without consequences.
