Can't leave the scene behind

The Orbit France site has a book trailer for La Cité des eaux. How awesome is that? (The text goes by too fast for my poor French to keep up.)

I started to make my own trailer for TDC back in the day, but it fell prey to the apathy demon. I should make one for Kingdoms.

Should I tell you there's a typo in the first frame? No? Okay then.

A real translation follows as soon as I can type it up.

They gave you good music and pretty colours.

(Possibly I should get a copy of your French book. I need something good to encourage me to read the bloody language regularly.)

Translation.

The City of Waters

In a city-jungle flooded with canals a revolution rises from the waters...

Spy and necromancer, Isyllt Iskaldur will have to choose

between her mission and the life of a man who has sworn to destroy her

Sink into the canals of Symir

THE CITY OF WATERS, impregnable and moving

Still waters run deep.*

*this is actually a proverb! Literally, it's "don't trust sleeping waters."
