New York Times bestselling author Kazu Kibuishi says of Lightfall:
"Beautifully drawn. Tim Probert has created a world readers will
want to visit." For fans of Amulet and middle grade readers who
love sweeping worlds like Star Wars, the first book of the
Lightfall series introduces Bea and Cad, two unlikely friends who
get swept up in an epic quest to save their world from falling into
eternal darkness. Deep in the heart of the planet Irpa stands the
Salty Pig's House of Tonics & Tinctures, home of the wise Pig
Wizard and his adopted granddaughter, Bea. As keepers of the
Endless Flame, they live a quiet and peaceful life, crafting
medicines and potions for the people of their once-prosperous
world. All that changes one day when, while walking through the
woods, Bea meets Cad, a member of the Galdurians, an ancient race
thought to be long-extinct. Cad believes that if anyone can help
him find his missing people, it's the Pig Wizard. But when the two
arrive home, the Pig Wizard is nowhere to be found-all that's left
is the Jar of Endless Flame and a mysterious note. Fearing for the
Pig Wizard's safety, Bea and Cad set out across Irpa to find him,
while danger fights its way out of the shadows and into the light.
Will these two unexpected friends find the beloved Pig Wizard and
prevent eternal darkness from blanketing their world? Or has Irpa
truly seen its last sunrise? Praise for Lightfall Kirkus Best Books

who prizes fancy clothes above all else. He buys suit after suit

to make the Emperor a special suit that has magical powers. The
merchants, however, are not who they claim to be, and the suit has
one major flaw, no one can see it!
