Description

New York Times bestselling author Kazu Kibuishi says of Lightfall: “Beautifully drawn. Tim Probert has created a world readers will want to visit.”

For fans of Amulet and middle grade readers who are captivated by sweeping universes like Star Wars, the first book of the Lightfall series introduces readers to an extraordinary adventure. Join Bea and Cad, two unlikely friends, as they embark on a quest to rescue their world from being consumed by eternal darkness.

In the heart of Irpa, a planet once brimming with prosperity, stands the Salty Pig’s House of Tonics & Tinctures. This is the home of the wise Pig Wizard and his adopted granddaughter, Bea. Their life is peaceful; they are the keepers of the Endless Flame, dedicating their days to crafting medicines and potions for the inhabitants of Irpa.

But their tranquil existence is disrupted when Bea encounters Cad, a Galdurian—one of the ancient and thought-to-be-extinct race of Galdurians. Cad is in search of his missing people and believes that the Pig Wizard could be the key to finding them.

Upon returning home, Bea and Cad discover the Pig Wizard has vanished. In his place is a mysterious note and the Jar of Endless Flame. Fearing for the Pig Wizard's safety, Bea and Cad embark on a perilous journey throughout Irpa to find him, traversing lands where danger lurks in every shadow.

The path they choose is fraught with challenges and dark forces trying to prevent them from fulfilling their quest. As they brave these trials, Bea and Cad's bond of friendship strengthens, and they learn to face their fears and the impending threats to their world.

Will Bea and Cad succeed in their mission to rescue the Pig Wizard and use the Endless Flame to stave off eternal darkness? Or will Irpa face a future without light?

Join them in a heart-moving adventure that combines breathtaking illustrations with a captivating narrative, standing as a testament to Tim Probert's ability to create an enchanting world in Lightfall.
