In this high fantasy graphic novel orcs and humans, after centuries of battling over rich lands, now have to sign an alliance and work together to fight a greater threat, an old enemy that unexpectedly arrived on their shores.

In this first volume, the storyline is rather simple but sets a nice premise for the story to continue and develop further. I would have liked a little more backstory on what made the land so barren and why the two factions fought over it for so long. Nonetheless, it gave us enough information to understand their reasons. The graphic style is beautiful and very detailed. It makes you easily immerse yourself in the world and relate to the characters' emotions and concerns. I would definitely check out the next volume when it comes out!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc!
