Strange Alliances
Book 2
A gorgeous fantasy graphic novel series with a unique historical backdrop, an urgent environmental message, and a wondrous visual style.
Xinyue, a treasure hunter turned guardian of a baby deity, has escaped death—and awakened in a strange new land. Qiliu, the boy he once called brother, has been captured by enemies—and must tamp down his rage long enough to make his next move. Faced with wolf raiders, frog royalty, and killer plants, both young men will have to choose allies carefully as powerful forces emerge.
