In this sprawling adventure by award-winning cartoonist Lewis Trondheim,
filled with heavily-guarded castles, apocalyptic red skies, flying
beasts, and deep mythos, our protagonist Ralph Azham discovers he has a
long-lost sister, Captain Rose Azham. She had a vision that the two
siblings will fight to the death sometime in the future. To interrupt
the family reunion, a King possessed by the wicked sorcerer Malick
declares a vendetta against Ralph, after Ralph's uncanny power to
conjure spirits. Now, guided (and sometimes dragged) by spirits, Ralph
and his loyal page Yassou must flee the puppet king's forces through
treacherous mountain passes to hazardous high seas... Nowhere is safe
for Ralph and his scrappy entourage. But how long can he run for? And
what of the rumors Ralph has been spotted in cities causing more chaos
and destruction? The fate of the world, or the end of the world, might
depend on Ralph's next step.
