"Dynamic action and humorous dialogue personify this exhilarating series." —Publishers Weekly

Cartoonist Sourya’s manga and bandes dessinées-inspired adventure continues as Talli trains to master her mysterious powers before her pursuers lay siege to the city in the third exhilarating installment of the Daughter of the Moon series!

Talli is a Summoner, a being of immense but mysterious powers granted by the Moon Goddess, and shunned by society for that very power. After the vicious battle with the Forest King, Talli and her companions have finally found a much-needed refuge in a mountain village whose people are still loyal to the Children of the Moon.

Secluded atop the forbidding Diamond Peak with the enigmatic swordsman Lélo, Talli begins her training with the cantankerous Fara, and must confront her deepest fears and darkest memories. But time is swiftly running out for Talli’s bruised and battered companions as the relentless Lord Ulric’s forces lay siege to their mountain stronghold. Can Talli master the terrifying power that courses through her veins in time to save the people she loves from the unstoppable Lord Ulric?

French-Laotian cartoonist Sourya reaches new creative heights in this emotional and action-packed volume of Talli: Daughter of the Moon, seamlessly merging the best elements of manga and bandes dessinées in a powerful fantasy epic for the ages!
