Heartpiercer - Paperback

by Rich Douek (Author), Gavin Smith (Illustrator), Nicholas Burgdorf (Illustrator)

Atala thought she was saving the world--but in hunting down the great beasts, she wound up dooming it.

Betrayed by her lord, Kurrn, and left for dead, she awakes in a dark world overrun by nightmares, with a single mission on her mind: revenge.

But before she can avenge herself on Kurrn, she must deal with the devastation left in his wake - beginning with a tribe of vicious werewolves menacing one of the last human settlements. As she confronts the bestial Howler and comes to terms with her own past, Atala must unlock a deep and ancient power inside herself if she is to survive, much less triumph.

A thrilling new dark fantasy graphic novel from the minds of Rich Douek and Gavin Smith, with Nicholas Burgdorf, Roshan Kurichiyanil and Justin Birch.

Collects Heartpiercer #1-#4.
