After Christelle Dabos’ participation at Lucca Comics & Games 2023, The mirror visitor author who established herself as the queen of French romantic fantasy, the cultural program of Luk For Fantasy opens its doors to the Italian and international romantasy literature. Valentina Ghetti, bookmaker, author and "teacher on break", as well as a big-time reader and K-Pop enthusiast, will curate the section dedicated to this genre.

The first two guest authors of the program dedicated to romantasy will be the American Ava Reid (Il Castoro OFF) and the Italian Felicia Kingsley (Newton Compton).

For the first time in Italy, Reid is at the center of one of the strongest and most interesting booktok phenomena of the moment with her novel A Study in Drowning.

Ten years after her debut, Kingsley arrives for the first time at Lucca Comics & Games to share her passion for the cartoons she grew up with, from Lady Oscar to Kodocha (Rossana in the Italian version) and Marmalade Boy (Piccoli problemi di cuore in the Italian version), without forgetting about cosplays and mangas. A Potterhead since high school, she founded a role-playing game on the forumcommunity platform called Mysteeria, the Italian School of Witchcraft and Wizardry because she was dissatisfied with the fact that in the magical world created by JK Rowling there were Hogwarts, Beauxbaton and Durmstrang, but no Italian magic academy.
