Broken Bear

3/5 ( ratings)

For fans of GAME OF THRONES Arya Stark and The Hound!. It's not easy being a squire. It's even harder being the squire to a legendary knight errant. Selm knows the feeling of living in the shadow of a towering giant all too well, and it sucks. She aches for the chance to become her own person and stake her claim on the world. Upon entering the depths of Pulpwood Swamp, Selm is offered that chance and she takes a treacherous shortcut towards getting the power and strength that she wants...but sometimes shortcuts end up being the longest route. Broken Bear follows Selm's action-packed journey of self-discovery where she must navigate the harsh realities of her newly expanding horizons. However, even if she can survive the onslaught of horrors, at the end of the trail of bodies will Selm still recognize herself? PRAISE FOR BROKEN BEAR: "The characterization here is sensational and what Frankee does is rather impressive. Selm becomes a very complex young woman and we see that she was far from ready, maturity wise, to be in the situation she now finds herself." - Reading with a Flight Ring.com "I have read Hero Journey stories before, I have read stories where the main character did not always make the right choice, but I have never read something like this." - Jenn Marshall, Sirens of Sequentials "If you're looking for a fantasy comic book that defies the normal tropes...and an anti heroic female protagonist in place of your usual white knight paladin, then you've found your book." - Anthony Pollock, Sodas & Telepaths "Beautiful to look at and packed with some fantastic characterization, this is going to be one of the most under-rated books we read all year!" - Alex Thomas, Pipedream Comics
