An Atlantis-like city from Celtic legend is the setting of The
Daughters of Ys, a mythical graphic novel fantasy from National Book
Award winner M. T. Anderson and artist Jo Rioux.
Ys, city of wealth and wonder, has a history of dark secrets. Queen
Malgven used magic to raise the great walls that keep Ys safe from the
tumultuous sea. But after the queen's inexplicable death, her daughters
drift apart. Rozenn, the heir to the throne, spends her time on the
moors communing with wild animals, while Dahut, the youngest, enjoys the
splendors of royal life and is eager to take part in palace intrigue.
When Rozenn and Dahut's bond is irrevocably changed, the fate of Ys is
sealed, exposing the monsters that lurk in plain view. M. T. Anderson
and Jo Rioux reimagine this classic Breton folktale of love, loss, and
rebirth, revealing the secrets that lie beneath the surface.
