Mage and the Endless Unknown cover

"Phenomenal." — KIRKUS Starred Review

"Beautiful and terrifying." — BOOKLIST Starred Review

"Unusual and unforgettable." — FOREWORD

Peek through the leaves, beyond the clouded mountains, and you will find a garden with a strange attendant and an even stranger purpose.

A young mage, asleep in a meadow, wakes to delights and fanciful spells that open a door to unknown wonder. Then, they eagerly step through to find only horror and death. There is no swashbuckling adventure in store; this world means them cold and deadly harm, and they'll need all their resilience, wit, and magic to push it back.

Gaze through fascinating silent windows into a terrifying dimension and follow the wordless Mage and their companions as they travel a shadowy fantastical land of monsters. Will they survive this endlessly curious mystery, or will the unforgiving darkness swallow them whole?

"Exquisite linework and detail, especially in the surprises and horrors—some of them quite grotesque and embracing body horror. . . . Phenomenal." — KIRKUS Starred Review

"Unusual and unforgettable, an immersive graphic novel covering a child’s magical adventures." — FOREWORD
