The Magicians
Blexbolex

Blexbolex delivers a new masterpiece with this meaningful adventure story about magic, metamorphosis and the power of creation.

Three magicians wake up one day after spending years in hiding… quite rightly: as soon as they reveal themselves, they are hunted down by the dreadful Huntress and her companion the Clinker, mercenaries here on a mission to capture them. In order to escape them, the Magicians will have to put aside their very different aspirations and personalities and join their magic to create a parallel, wonderful world. Will their powers and imagination allow the Magicians to defeat their relentless enemies?

This thrilling adventure story is also an extraordinarily well-written allegory about the control of free creation for the benefit of an authoritarian global order.
