PRIM - Description

After her mother's passing, Prim discovers that her father is none other than Death himself. Forced to live with him in the Realm of the Dead from now on, Prim is determined to escape the Grim Reaper's strict rules, for Death is anything but a natural-born father. But when she manages to flee on her 16th birthday, Prim's own powers are unleashed, with horrible consequences... In her quest to set things right, Prim must explore the Underworld, confronting dangers, but also forging unlikely alliances. Can you help Prim find her place in the world, or will the consequences of her journey unravel the delicate balance between life and death?

At its core, PRIM is a story of a father learning to let go of control and a girl finding her place in the world. But it's also a thrilling adventure, full of magic and darkness. On her journey, Prim has to switch between the Realm of the Dead and the Land of the Living, where she faces demons, real ones and ones within herself, while always being accompanied by her sidekick, an eye with spider legs.
