Let fate decide the one truly worthy to rule in her place. The rich, the strong, the wise, the powerful; many put forward their names in hope of being chosen. But when the night came . . . only fifty souls alone were summoned.Book one in gripping action, supernatural, and historical fantasy graphic novel trilogy where souls battle in a contest to become the ruler of an island.
An impressive artistic achievement* The Sunday Times *
Alexis Deacon is a favourite illustrator of mine and he has written and illustrated one of the best graphic novels I've ever read. The pace of the narrating is deft but the frames take my breath away. Geis (Nobrow), pronounced "Gesh", is a book you can go back to and find new wonders each time. * The Guardian *
A fascinating, thought provoking and rewarding read. * SLA *
