A dark yet hopeful adult fantasy graphic novel filled with witches, magic, budding romance, and mystery. Perfect for fans of Monstress and Witch Hat Atelier.

Welcome to Tormalin, a world of covens, territories torn by politics, and forgotten history. 25 year old Wysteria Willow aches for a feeling of belonging in a life that feels pre-determined without her consent.

When her grandmother’s final words send her chasing the legend of ＂the Ever＂ (a mythical realm beyond space and time) Wysteria’s grief becomes obsession. What begins as a search for closure becomes a journey of discovery, identity, and self-actualization as she seeks the truth of this world and beyond.

Along the way, Wysteria crosses paths with those who will shape her fate: Head Dorren, a calculating Coven leader with her own plans; Rose, a mother torn between love and duty; and Autumn, an outsider whose loneliness mirrors Wysteria’s own. Each will test her as she treads the thin line between light and darkness.

In this first installment of The Lost Land Sage, the story explores themes of curiosity, grief, and the consequences of opening a door that cannot be closed. Wysteria must decide who she is and where she belongs... before the power she uncovers consumes her.

The Lost Land Sage lies in wait.
