Overview
Born with paper-white skin, Martino is an outcast. To the villagers, albinism is more than a curiosity-it's a curse. Bullied and shunned, Martino seeks refuge in the deep woods-and finds it in Viviana. Powerful and beautiful, Viviana belongs to a sisterhood of outcast women. Martino is welcomed into the fold and, drawing on the magic of the forest, is reborn. In Rebis, Italian duo Irene Marchesini and Carlotta Dicataldo deliver a medieval fantasy steeped in mystery-a haunting and hopeful tale of transformation and found family.
