Death and the Maiden

When Stralice comes of age, she is sent to complete the Flourishing. She knows little of what is going to happen other than she must go to the Chimerian Wood. She only knows that she is not ready for this task. She makes the journey, carrying the two items she needs for her quest, an egg, and her heart. But what awaits her in the Chimerian Wood is not something that she is prepared for, and it pulls her on a journey she never thought possible. This story is a dark fantasy from the minds of Jasmine Becket-Griffith and David Van Gough, with some amazing artistry and an equally amazing story.
