BOOK 1 - The desert

Matilda was born into a strange world.
Her Community is being persecuted by the neighboring territory that has vowed its end. Matilda learned from her elders how to resist. She is brilliant, strong, ambitious... Many hopes rest on her.

Until one day, the new generation is struck in the Community's most secure place. Matilda wonders: what if it wasn't yet another attack?
What if it was something far more momentous? Something that would affect everyone, including herself?

What if, behind the border, the front line that no one dares to talk about, this no-man’s land that it is forbidden to cross on pain of death, people thought differently?
Could history go any other way?

Matilda struggles to find the truth.
What she discovers could change her future and that of all humanity.
Now, she has a choice to make : give up or believe.

Om is a must-read for every generation. It resonates with our lives and leaves no one indifferent. Once you start it, you won't be able to put it down.
