Dreamland: Tome 1: Feu ! by French BD and manga creator Reno Lemaire (
Bédétheque) is the 1st volume in his French-language Dreamland series of fantasy adventure manga-styled BD starring an otherwise ordinary high school boy who discovers within his nightly dream life a secondary identity as magical fire-controller, as you do, this installment setting up the premise and his initial adventures, free courtesy of publisher Hachette's Pika imprint for French-language manga.
This is apparently being offered free as a promo to accompany a worldwide sale by the French publishers of assorted
bandes déssinées and manga albums in translation; more details will be added to the Comics megathread, if you're interested.
Currently free @
Amazon CA (also
UK; this seems to be the correct ASIN to switch around for the rest of Europe as well),
Kobo &
iTunes &
Google Play (all available to Canadians)
And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.
Because we almost never get French-language freebies from the major publishers, and getting not just one, but two, 1st-in-series introductory volumes from a major imprint and one of them a French-original manga-styled BD series (alongside the translation of the popular actual Japanese manga one) and an accompanying sale on further volumes should one happen to like these, is a doubleplus good treat indeed.
Enjoy!
