She charged across the road, skull throbbing, racing past bodies and toppled carts. Numbly, she pulled herself from the woodpile and took in the chaos: village elders roasting on fiery crosses, red robes everywhere, children crying in the mud, every village hut aflame, dogs sniffing dead bodies in the road.Ī guttural cry of “Mother!” ripped from her throat. Jolts of agony forked across her skull, and her hand went to a wet patch of hair and a knot just below her left ear where the iron ball had struck her. How long have I been unconscious? she wondered, her thoughts sticky and slow. Nimue awoke with a start to piteous cries. She struggles to unite her people, avenge her family, and discover the truth about her destiny.īut perhaps the one thing that can change Destiny itself is found at the edge of a blade. She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else.
Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people’s only hope. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village, and that made her desperate to leave, but when her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, Nimue’s fate is forever altered. Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King.īut what if the Sword has chosen a Queen? Featuring 8 full color and 30 black-and-white pieces of original artwork by Frank Miller.
