A cast of heroes from all walks of life leads the charge to stop an ancient empire bent on world domination in this Queer YA graphic novel! An archaeological dig backed by all four countries of Tuvana is meant to shed light on the past while uniting the countries under a similar goal, despite their differences. However, the project takes a sudden dark turn after an unexpected discovery. Communications are lost, family members are missing, there are strange changes in the land and unexpected climate irregularities-all threatening to unravel the tenuous ties that have kept Tuvana at peace for so long. A clever princess, a set of royal twins with two very different personalities, a patient guard looking after an inquisitive scholar, a powerful and mysterious loving couple, and a fun-having street brawler are all pulled slowly from their very different paths through life as they each stumble across parts of a puzzle that, once assembled, could change-or destroy-the future of their world forever. One volume collecting the first nine chapters of the webcomic series, Pathways: Chronicles of Tuvana, featuring updated artwork! Dark Horse Comics (W/A/Ca) Elaine Tipping
