Full Description
In this sprawling adventure by award-winning
cartoonist Lewis Trondheim, filled with heavily-guarded castles, apocalyptic red
skies, flying beasts, and deep mythos, our protagonist Ralph Azham discovers he
has a long-lost sister, Captain Rose Azham. She had a vision that the two
siblings will fight to the death sometime in the future. To interrupt the family
reunion, a King possessed by the wicked sorcerer Malick declares a vendetta
against Ralph, after Ralph's uncanny power to conjure spirits. Now, guided
(and sometimes dragged) by spirits, Ralph and his loyal page Yassou must flee
the puppet king's forces through treacherous mountain passes to hazardous
high seas... Nowhere is safe for Ralph and his scrappy entourage. But how long
can he run for? And what of the rumors Ralph has been spotted in cities causing
more chaos and destruction? The fate of the world, or the end of the world,
might depend on Ralph's next step.
