Talli, Daughter of The Moon is an incredibly epic adventure from French-Laotian cartoonist Sourya that evokes the best of manga and bandes dessinées in one sweeping narrative.
Talli is a Summoner: a nearly extinct people, hunted by those who fear their mysterious powers. As a baby, she was adopted by Lord Koska, and all was well for many years... But one day, their castle is sacked by Koska's rival, Lord Ulric. Talli escapes in the chaos and darkness with the help of the noble (some might say too noble) knight Sir Alan.
With Ulric's forces hot on her heels, Talli and Alan keep one step ahead, gathering a motley crew of companions and protectors that includes the lethargic-but-incredible swordsman Lélo. Ulric's Captain Nina pursues them doggedly, but she is unaware of the secret of Talli's blood: the secret of the Summoners!
“The Making of Talli, Part One.” Black-and-white illustrations.

A white-haired maiden flees her father's castle as knights of the realm hunt for heretical followers of the Moon Goddess. Accompanied by a loyal knight, a gregarious bandit, and a deadly but lethargic swordsman, Talli must stay ahead of her pursuers while trying to understand her magical birthright: the ability to summon monsters. French Laotian cartoonist Sourya (whose illustrations can be seen in Midnight Tales, Vol. 1 and Spera: Ascension of the Starless, Vol. 1) has a style that evokes the best of classic manga like Lupin III or Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. His highly detailed line work evokes sumptuous settings that fans of Elder Scrolls—like role-playing games can sink into. VERDICT Laced with humor and hard-hitting action, the story unfolds fast from the very first page. Teens and up will clamor for more of this epic fantasy.
