A collection of four all-new strange stories from the sleepy town of Gravity Falls in one original graphic novel. Written by Alex Hirsch.
The dramatic and hotly anticipated conclusion to Alexis Deacon's
original Geis trilogy, featuring new branding and a format designed
to sit alongside Curse of the Chosen Volume 1. As the great chief
matriarch lay dying, she gave one final decree: Upon her death
there would be a contest. Having no heir of her own blood she
called on the Gods. Let fate decide the one truly worthy to rule in
her place. The rich, the strong, the wise, the powerful; many put
forward their names in hope of being chosen. But when the night
came... only fifty souls alone were chosen. As Io's quest reaches
its deadly and dramatic conclusion, things are not all as they seem
in the sorceress' game for the right to rule. Still trapped inside
the torturous nightmares within the castle, who will remain in the
battle for the throne, and which of the chosen will be lost along
the way? Or will they fail in their attempts to escape the horrors
within? Alexis Deacon draws his Geis trilogy to an epic and emotive
conclusion in this newly branded volume, packed to the rafters with
his beautiful artwork and gripping storytelling.
