To survive, Alva must decide who she can trust, uncover the truth about her mysterious origins, and navigate a violent, shifting landscape where humans and monsters are not so easily told apart. </p><p>This fresh take on witchcraft is the first graphic novel of the planned Scandi-noir horror trilogy from creators Aksel Studsgarth and Daniel Hansen.
