Say, do you like those illustrated fantasy books? Do you also love comics? Do you have a yearning for adventure, romance, comedy, and epic struggles of good versus evil across time, itself? Well then, have I got the series for you!
Returning home to the city of Ocensend from a mighty adventure at sea with his grandfather, young Rubel soon discovers all his friends are gone and his grandfather's ship has gone down with all hands lost. The evil and vile prince now sits on the throne, and his beloved princess, for which he had promised himself to as her loyal thief, now hides in exile, ridiculed by the people of Oceansend.
All alone, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of a struggle between the Shadow Lady, a fig
ment from his childhood, and the local foolish wizard Quenton; who, himself, is now missing. Rubel will have to make new friends and allies as he does battle with forces greater than himself in order to return balance to the kingdom. But things never are quite what they seem.
Lavishly illustrated with detail, and filled with bright and deep characters, this book has quickly become my most favorite. At times this is a lovable adventurous comic, and at others a work of high fantasy; filled with pirates, rogues, and magic.
Thieves and Kings is available from Ibox Publishing, and is moving from a bi-monthly format to collected trade paperback format. Black and White. Price varies between collected volumes.
