Landfall, the largest planet in the galaxy has been at war with its only moon, Wreath for as long as anyone can remember. When the war started it was fought in the cities. "But because the destruction of one would only send the other spinning out of orbit, both sides began to outsource combat to foreign lands." At home, there was finally peace and people either forgot or stopped caring about the war, while the rest of the galaxy was forced to choose a side.
The book opens up with the birth of the narrator, Hazel, born to Alana of Landfall and her husband Marko of Wreath who has magical abilities and has sworn to not draw his sword ever again. Right after the birth of Hazel in a garage, they've borrowed there is a pounding on the door from Landfall officers looking for Alana. At the same time, a contingent of Wreath arrive and the two groups shoot it out with only Alana, Marko, and Hazel surviving. Before dying the man who rented them the garage and sold them out hands them a map of the Rocketship Forest, a kind of fairy tale place that might or might not exist.
As the three of them head out to follow the map they will find out that someone has sent Freelancers to kill them and bring the child in. Also, Prince IV of Landfall who has just returned from an exhausting mission to his wife finds himself tasked with finding them, a job he does not relish. This comic gets the series off with a bang and you immediately fall in love with the main characters. The tough as nails Alana and the sweet now peaceful Marko who compliment each other nicely. The artwork is interesting with its soft lines and hues and depictions of characters with rams horns, fairy wings, and TV/monitor heads. I really loved this book and can't wait to read the next one.
