Alana and Marko come from warring worlds: the technologically advanced Landfall and its magic-wielding moon, Wreath. When these soldiers desert their respective infantries to fall in love, they conceive a hybrid daughter named Hazel. This volume follows the family as they flee across the galaxy to escape bounty hunters and military commanders who want the child eliminated to prevent her from becoming a symbol of peace. They navigate strange planets, encountering aristocratic robots with television screens for heads and a freelance assassin known as The Will.
Science fiction readers and graphic novel enthusiasts choose this series for its blend of space opera high stakes and blunt domestic realism. It appeals to those interested in how family dynamics survive during systemic conflict and wartime displacement. The reader walks away with a vivid visual experience of Fiona Staples’ surreal character designs and a narrative that treats the messy struggles of marriage and parenthood with the same gravity as galactic politics and lethal combat.
