Description
Tales of the Kingdom, Vol. 1 by Kei Coffman, Asumiko Nakamura, and Abigail Blackman introduces us to a world of intrigue and heartache.
Purple-eyed Adarte and blue-eyed Adolte stand at the centre of this narrative. One is enveloped in light, the graceful son, while the other is shrouded in darkness, the prisoner. Even as their souls are drawn together, destiny would tear them apart.
Elsewhere in the kingdom, a heroic king is served by an enigmatic aide from a distant land. His path has torn him from his dearest kin and placed him in the halls of power. To what end...?
This is the first of Asumiko Nakamuraโs beautifully wrought tales set in a fantastic kingdom, where every characterโs story adds to the web of intrigue.
