Summary

Fleeing the devastation of her war-torn homeland, Joana journeys to the New World seeking gold to rebuild her life. In this untamed land, she meets both allies—like the kind Native women Tala and Opa—and enemies, including the ruthless gold hunter Matwei and his men. Alongside an unexpected travelling companion, Joana faces the dangers of a wild, icy wilderness where a mystical beast prowls the shadows. Daughters of Snow and Cinders combines a gripping adventure with the striking natural beauty of the frozen north, centred on the resilience of two strong young women.

This English debut graphic novel by Spanish illustrator Núria Tamarit weaves a powerful cautionary tale about humanity's need to overcome greed and care for the world on which we depend.
