The Mannamong - Volume 1: A Kids Fantasy Graphic Novel

What if the stories you were told as a child were true? When a mysterious fever nearly takes her life, Kali Teal begins to dream of the mannamong — ancient guardian spirits born of nature and whispered about in bedtime stories. She never believed they were real. Until they save her. But the miracle comes with a terrifying truth: one of the spirits caused her illness. Now a rogue guardian is hiding within her, using Kali as protection from his own kind. As ancient loyalties fracture and unseen forces stir, Kali is pulled into a hidden world far more dangerous — and far more complicated — than the stories she once heard. To survive, she must uncover long-buried secrets and decide who to trust in a realm where even protectors can become threats.
