A STUNNING NEW CHAPTER OF THE DEATHLY DARK FAIRY TALE BEGINS!

From masters of horror Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Sixth Gun) and Christopher Mitten (Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.), follow two young sisters into a twilight realm haunted by faeries, monsters, and demons in a quest to rescue their parents from an eons-old blood sacrifice…

Kidnapped by the fae, sisters Sommer and Winter’s parents have disappeared behind the veiled walls of the Autumn Kingdom—mythical borderlands that their fantasy author father once thought were total fiction. Now, with the human world far behind them, their final conquest—and their father’s freedom—stands before them… behind a legion of goblins, trolls, and corrupted human souls… EVIL DEAD meets LABYRINTH in this dazzlingly rendered horror saga that /FILM calls classic ‘sword and sorcery’ shot through with ‘scary monsters and mortal peril’!
