Aster, la protectrice.
Violette, la favorite.
Tanny, la bienveillante.
Mauve, la combattante.
Clémentine, l’étincelle.
À Arketta, on les appelle « Les filles de la Chance ».
Leur « chance », c’est d’avoir été vendues, enfants, à la maison de bienvenue.
D’avoir été marquées et emprisonnées comme des animaux.
Le jour où l’une d’entre elles tue accidentellement un homme, signant leur perte à toutes, les jeunes filles n’ont d’autre choix que de fuir. Traversant un pays désolé où l’injustice règne en maître, elles fuient en quête de liberté, de renouveau, d’espérance.
Pour survivre, il leur faudra bien plus que de la chance…
Prenez garde à ne pas les sous-estimer, vous pourriez bien y perdre la vie…
