This epic fantasy graphic novel, written by Gregory A. Wilson, with
illustrations by Matt Slay and Mark Dos Santos, follows the story of
Icarus and Jellinek, an unlikely pair of heroes.
Icarus and Jellinek are, on the surface, about as different as two beings can possibly be.
Icarus is a tall, fair-skinned boy of around 17 who falls to the
world of Vol from the sky with no memory of anything but his name. His
is a graceful being with wings and incredible powers that he has no
memory of how to use.
Jellinek is a four-foot hard-scrabble flamepetal prospector with
tough red skin, a gruff disposition and general dislike of everyone
around him, and a two-tailed lava-resistant creature called a "solar" as a companion.
On the day that their lives collide, everything about their world
changes, and they discover that they have more in common than they can
possibly imagine.
Together, Icarus and Jellinek will battle the tyranny of the Magisters, who have enslaved an entire people.
This graphic novel introduces us to the incredibly visual world of
Vol, and the stunning array of characters and creatures who call it
home. It takes us on an amazing journey in which Icarus and Jellinek
fight for their lives and the freedom of a people while trying to unlock the mystery of Icarus's past. To Jellinek's surprise, Icarus's mystery
becomes his own, as well.
