In the town of Drissa, everything appears to radiate an ancient magic: the sea hides secret passageways, the rocks could tell many stories and the animals are like mythological creatures, although all might not be as it seems. When, on a family holiday, Alexandra disappears after exploring this enchanting landscape, her brother Noa has no choice but to follow her trail.

A heart on the run is a thrilling and absorbing novel, packed with fun moments, but also more sombre ones, about our origins, the search for our identity and that fleeting instant in which we realise our childhood is starting to become a thing of the past.
