A thrilling illustrated fantasy novel.

An unstoppable force—feeding off the cheers of his people, yet always hungering for what had been stolen from him.
Now, just when Anaz is offered a chance to win his freedom, his magic is failing him—corrupted and weak. With the help—and love—of a newly enslaved Ascenic girl, can Anaz recapture his people’s ways and have a chance at surviving to be a free man?

A very cool and thought provoking fantasy tale! The writing is gritty and visceral at once while exploring the question of finding inner peace. Paperback seems well made and the artwork is lovely, spattered throughout every 4 pages or so. The world and characters introduced in this story make one curious what other stories they might hold. I already recommended and lent to a friend but look forward to reading it again.
