Graineliers

In a world where plant seeds possess extraordinary abilities ranging from the mundane to the miraculous, a young man named Luca survives by illegally cultivating and trading rare botanical specimens. Operating outside the law is a dangerous gamble; only those who hold the official title of Grainelier are permitted to handle such powerful flora. For anyone else, engaging in this illicit trade carries a severe penalty—the total loss of personal freedom. When government security forces arrive at his doorstep, Luca immediately assumes his black-market activities have finally been discovered. However, the authorities are not there for him. Instead, their target is his reclusive father, Christophe. In the ensuing chaos, Christophe urges his son to flee, pressing a handful of exceptionally rare and potent seeds into Luca’s hands before sending him away to safety. Now forced onto the run, Luca must navigate a perilous new reality. Armed with forbidden botanical power, he faces an uncertain future, leaving him to wonder whether these precious seeds will serve as his salvation or merely pave a path fraught with even greater danger.
