The Mountains Belong to Us is a rural fantasy that meets high-stakes adventure in this original hardcover graphic novel. It’s one young woman and her trusted dog versus the world – literally.

Embark on a fantastical journey through loss and danger – both earthly and unearthly. Somewhere in the high mountains of Europe, Thomasin loses her father while travelling to a convent. A shepherd takes her in and promises to help her finish her journey. However, when the shepherd is conscripted to war, Thomasin is left with the shepherd’s most trusted sheepdog, Max, and his herd. Together they must reach the convent and guide the sheep to safety. But the way is perilous, and the wolves on the mountain are hungry…

An enthralling tale of rural fantasy and high-stakes adventure, The Mountains Belong to Us is the story of a young girl and a sheepdog on a desperate journey of survival against the odds.
