Cédric Delacroix
Cédric Delacroix, much like his protagonist, is an adventurer at heart. He has roamed the sun-scorched landscapes of Africa, ventured deep into the verdant Amazon rainforest, and immersed himself in the captivating cultures of the Far East. It is from this vibrant and diverse tapestry of experiences that the author drew his inspiration to craft the first volume of his trilogy.
