I really, really wanted to like this one. It should have been brilliant! But sadly, for me, the execution didn't live up to the promise. Plot elements were dropped in awkwardly, I never felt like I had all the background, and a couple of characters just vanished randomly. To me, it kind of felt like Tom and Frank had a really cool idea and tried to weld it to Arthurian myth. It might have done better as its' own thing.
That's just my opinion, though, and this is well written. The art looks like it will fit perfectly with the story. I hope it does really well. It just wasn't for me.
Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King.
But what if the Sword has chosen a Queen?
Nimue grew up an outcast. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village, and that made her desperate to leave…
That is, until her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, and Nimue’s fate is forever altered. Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people’s only hope. Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else.
Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. She struggles to unite her people, avenge her family, and discover the truth about her destiny.
But perhaps the one thing that can change Destiny itself is found at the edge of a blade.
