In this fantasy adventure graphic novel, a young boy named William goes off in search of his sister who is trying to find their father’s spirit. In the process, he meets a mercenary named Barbant, a magical goat, and a troubadour named Counterpane. Together the trio go on an adventure across the magical lands. They meet many monsters and kings in the pursuit of what happened to William’s father.
The book’s plot is rather dull and confusing. The artwork is just OK. The reader is led to believe that the adventure will be a grand one but, the adventure is rather short and boring. I rate this book as a marginal purchase for a school library.
