Following the death of her father, the King, Lady “Poppy” Pyppenia must
survive the dangers of court life. Thankfully, she is protected by the
Sleepless Knight Cyrenic, but soon Poppy’s life becomes endangered as someone
seeks to have her assassinated. Will Poppy and Cyrenic learn who wants her dead
before the assassin succeeds, and will they ever admit their growing feelings
towards each other?
This was a fantastic read with strong female characters, intriguing
mystical powers, and a mystery. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. One
of the things that I liked the most about this comic was the diverse
characters. There is a range of races, ethnicities, abilities, and religions
presented in a way that feels authentic to the story. They have a variety of
motivations and reactions that help build the story and challenge the main
characters. If you enjoy stories with strong female characters, beautiful
artwork, or unique fantasy elements, this is a great fit.
