GIRRION: THE CHRYSALIS AND THE STONE -- VOLUME ONE

Written and Illustrated by Tom Lintern

Collecting the first five issues of Book One of the fan-favorite series. GIRRION is a sweeping sci-fi fantasy story of a hero's journey in a distant time and world, in a realm called Gania inhabited by peaceful creatures known as the Gunflins. For centuries they have learned to harness the power of varied and ancient technologies from wars from a violent past until only one remains a mystery...until now. The saga is told through the eyes of Jarra, a poor factory worker who dreams of escaping his world of endless toil, until one day his deepest wish comes true, though not in a way he would have ever wanted, when his city is attacked by a dark entity called the Halodron. He manages to escape the conflict, but only to be thrust into a war of other-worldly magic and weaponry. This is a great jumping on point for new readers.
