THE BELLES is one of the most original novels I've read in quite a while. It unveils the ugly side of society and holds a mirror up to today's society and biases in the process. The Belles are 'the descendants of the Goddess of Beauty, blessed with the arcana to enhance the world and rescue the people of Orléans.'

But without her in his life, Kovis will never sleep again, and as the kingdom's most powerful sorcerer, that isn't an option, especially with war on the horizon...
