Nimona meets Paper Girls with a literary twist in this wickedly
funny graphic novel about a teenager who is swept up in a strange
new universe and must save it from an all-consuming evil in order
to return home. One dark and stormy night, Haley sees a stranger
drowning in the river. Since her greatest passion is Gothic romance
novels, she knows her moment has come. But when Haley leaps into
the water to rescue the stranger, she awakens in Willowweep. It
certainly looks like the setting of one of her favorite books: A
stately manor. A sinister housekeeper. Three brooding brothers.
There's even a ghost. Except Willowweep is not what it seems. Its
romantic exterior hides the workings of a pocket universe-the only
protection our world has against a great force of penultimate evil,
and its defenses are crumbling. Could cruel fate make Haley the
heroine that Willowweep needs?
With a Hunter and Gatherer culture to be proud of, Silversnow
Island is left with millions starving and thousands of game hunters
dying. Rumor tells a story that the coyotes are on the prowl in the
dreaded and endless forest the game hunters work in: The Brawler.
Within those wicked branches, however, an evil prowess is growing
that only few suspect what it is, but never say what it may be.
With millions of men, women and children hanging on to the thread
of life by a simple bowl of porridge a day, a new hunt in The
Brawler must be made: a hunt for truth. This hunt will be made by
the most skilled hunters, soldiers, archers and even a young mage.
However this may hold, there is one hunter that seeks truth above
all else: Weylyn Fridolf. Along with his father and fellow
companions, Weylyn must hunt for wild game to feed not only his
home, Chanter's High, but for Silversnow Island itself; he must
discover the truth behind the coyote's brutal attacks and, above
all else, must battle for a truth his father holds in secrecy so
well. Swept away into the hunt as part of tradition, not only will
Weylyn find truth he will discover a mystery that has lived long
before his own birth and name. What will keep him and his
companions safe is a simple prayer that embarks them all on a hunt
far beyond what they expected or dream of: The Cry of the Wolf
Singer.
