LOST LEGENDS OF NOTHING

As war between the Volken Court and the Human Empire once again spreads across Nothing, Nathan and his ragtag team of unlikely friends continue their quest to defeat the all-consuming Stryx.

An immediate follow-up to the charged finale of Fantastic Tales of Nothing (2020), this entry finds its heroes torn apart. Having learned of the fae’s demise under the orders of the Volken Court, Haven copes with the loss of their family. Is Haven the last of the fae? While Sina attempts to let go of the past, Baldov embraces the possibility of newfound kinship. Meanwhile, Prince Naoki and his loyal guard, Ren, finally join the adventure as the young Imperial Highness assumes an active role in protecting his kingdom and its citizens, whether human or Volken. With the power of Lerina within him, Nathan dreams of Lerina’s past, and together he and the group need to uncover the knowledge required to defeat Stryx, the malevolent force currently inhabiting the body of Chancellor Aquilla, leader of the Volken Court. To unbind Stryx’s hold on Haven—and his threat over Nothing—the adventurers seek out the truth behind Lerina’s myth. Green and Rodriguez continue to refine and expand on the world of Nothing through jovial humor, fantastical bits of myth-building, and lots of heart. Stronger pacing and richer character development also lend gravitas. The colorful artwork surprises thanks to well-spaced set pieces and excellent creature design.

Fans will be left hoping for more adventures about Nothing.
