The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Lightfall is Tim Probert's beautifully drawn fantasy graphic novel franchise about Bea, a nervous young girl, and Cad, a gentle Galdurian, travelling through the world of Irpa as darkness rises. The series combines classic quest fantasy with unusually strong emotional texture: anxiety, courage, friendship, ancient stories, ecological threat and the burden of being braver than you feel. It is a natural next step for readers who like Hilda's wonder or 5 Worlds' visual fantasy but want a slightly slower, more atmospheric adventure.
A gorgeous fantasy graphic novel series about friendship, anxiety, courage and a quest through a world losing its light.
