New York Times bestselling author Kazu Kibuishi says of Lightfall:
"Beautifully drawn. Tim Probert has created a world readers will want
to visit."
For fans of Amulet and middle grade readers who love sweeping worlds
like Star Wars, the first book of the Lightfall series introduces Bea
and Cad, two unlikely friends who get swept up in an epic quest to save
their world from falling into eternal darkness.
Deep in the heart of the planet Irpa stands the Salty Pig's House of
Tonics & Tinctures, home of the wise Pig Wizard and his adopted
granddaughter, Bea. As keepers of the Endless Flame, they live a quiet
and peaceful life, crafting medicines and potions for the people of
their once-prosperous world.
All that changes one day when, while walking through the woods, Bea
meets Cad, a member of the Galdurians, an ancient race thought to be
long-extinct. Cad believes that if anyone can help him find his missing
people, it's the Pig Wizard.
But when the two arrive home, the Pig Wizard is nowhere to be found--all
that's left is the Jar of Endless Flame and a mysterious note. Fearing
for the Pig Wizard's safety, Bea and Cad set out across Irpa to find
him, while danger fights its way out of the shadows and into the light.
Will these two unexpected friends find the beloved Pig Wizard and
prevent eternal darkness from blanketing their world? Or has Irpa truly
seen its last sunrise?
