SEA SERPENT'S HEIR

Aella has discovered that she is the reincarnation of the Black Wave, a world-devouring sea serpent called Xir—and with Xir’s power, she plans to take revenge on the Church of the First Light.

Two weeks after the conclusion of the first book, the story begins with Aella recovering from not only a battle, but from betrayal, the discovery of her connection to Xir, and the loss of her mother. When assassins attacked her ship, Aella decided to embrace her destiny as Xir, taking up the captain’s mantle left by her mother and vowing to avenge her death by destroying the Church of the First Light. Following her recovery, Aella and her crew set off to amass an army of pirates and mercenaries to take on their foe; their plan is to strike down the church’s monasteries and priests before they can send more killers after Aella. Whether this plan of revenge is more Aella’s or Xir’s remains to be seen, however. This story has a lightning-fast pace and doesn’t leave readers wanting. Each character has a unique voice, which translates gorgeously through facial expressions and body language. The original, sketchy art style; vibrant colors; and panel-breaking effects create an engaging visual experience. Human and humanoid characters are diverse in appearance.

This exciting sequel will engage both trilogy fans and newcomers alike.
