Bea is an adolescent girl who was found and raised by Alfirid, the Pig Wizard. This tale begins as she goes out foraging for potions ingredients and meets Cad, a friendly being who she learns is a Galdurian, thought to be an extinct people. Cad was in search of help from her gramps Alfirid, but when they return home, the pig wizard has left on his own adventure. Bea and Cad band together to try to find him, encountering a cast of unique characters along the way.
The artwork and character creation were absolutely gorgeous and so creative. The illustrations were emotive and atmospheric. Bea learns how to begin controlling her anxiety and fear over any negative possiblity in the future, which was really well explored. As someone frequently frozen by the what ifs of life, it was relatable and beautiful to see her struggle and learn coping skills. I look forward to continuing this series and watching her grow even more.
