The Horde of the Counter Wind

This is a world ruled by wind, an incredibly strong, penetrating wind, where whirlwinds form, literally changing reality and possibly possessing intellect. Among people, there has been a legend for generations that there is a place called the Upper Limit, where the wind originates, where it can be defeated and tamed, where any desires come true. It is to this place that the Horde, an expedition of 23 people who have been prepared for this journey their entire lives, is heading. Researchers and warriors, healers and troubadours, they must go on foot, for their path is a true ritual, defined by centuries, a tribute to the wind and a true challenge to all its forms. This is the 34th Horde; all previous ones have failed, no one has reached the destination, for the land around does not forgive mistakes. "The Horde of the Counter Wind" is a book-universe where adventure and the poetry of travel intertwine, intense action and the search for the meaning of life. Here are 23 main characters, each with their own voice, the page count goes backwards, the wind rips letters from the text, people turn into fountains, and battles of words can be more intense than battles of swords. A true masterpiece of French literature that is hard to find a comparison for.
