The author

Marina Comba

Stories where the intimate meets the mysterious.

Born in Marseille, Marina Comba now lives in Nice, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. A graduate in modern literature, she has been passionate about speculative fiction since her teenage years.

With LEIKA, le pouvoir de la marque, she creates an intense fantasy story set within a Native American culture steeped in traditions and mysteries. Her richly developed, strong-willed characters reflect her own intensity.

The reception of the first books deeply moved her. She is now exploring new literary territory with QALETAQA, a dark, visceral and immersive world.
