The Blood of Kings - Paperback
by Matt Myklusch (Author), Glass House Graphics (Illustrator), Onofrio Orlando (Illustrator)
A brave warrior fights to protect his home from threats both outside and within in this first book in the middle grade graphic novel series by Matt Myklusch set in the same Imagine Nation from his acclaimed Jack Blank series.
The Imagine Nation is the origin of all stories, made up of worlds inhabited by everything from comic book superheroes to embattled knights of medieval epics. Ever since failing to save his parents from a terrible fate, young swordsman Skerren has molded himself into a fearless warrior to defend his home, the medieval borough of Varagog Village--and to never again be as powerless as the was the day he lost his family. History comes dangerously close to repeating itself when Skerren's mentor, King Hovarth of Varagog nearly dies on his watch. With the king's life hanging by a thread, Skerren is named as Hovarth's heir, prompting an arrogant prince to challenge him for the throne. Skerren is forced to split his attention between political enemies inside the village threatening the title he never asked for and the villainous Night Lander Horde still circling outside following their strike against Horvath--all while being unsure who he can trust. Skerren must face devastating betrayals, the looming threat of war with the Night Landers, and the haunting truth about his parents' death. He may even find out if he has what it takes to be a king...if he survives the experience.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
