It is set in Artharú, where monsters and dark magic exist.  The story follows a boy named Drasin, whose village is attacked by one such tribe of monsters known as the Kgarra.  The attack transforms Drasin from an idealistic youth into a warrior who embarks on a quest.

The book almost reads more like a silent movie than a comic book.  The stunning visuals carry the bulk of the storytelling, while the succinct narration works to fill in the details.  The mostly black-and-white artwork manages to convey a fantastically dark world that makes the reader want to see more.

Volume 1 does a great job at establishing this world and the characters; however, I feel like the story really starts in the last couple of pages.  I look forward to Volume 2 and hope that it fulfills the promise in this book of an epic saga.
