A sweeping graphic-novel fantasy about an anxious girl, a cheerful Galdurian, and their dangerous journey to bring light back to a darkening world.

Read the four published books in numbered order: The Girl & the Galdurian, Shadow of the Bird, The Dark Times, and A Place Between. This is one continuous quest, and each volume begins after the consequences of the previous book.
The story is still ongoing, so A Place Between is the current stopping point rather than a final conclusion. This page includes only volumes already published.

The fantasy adventure includes monsters, battles, weapons, capture, frightening chases, serious injuries, death, and grief. The threat grows across the series, so later volumes feel darker and more intense than the opening journey.
Bea lives with anxiety and can become overwhelmed or panic under pressure. Her courage is shown as acting while afraid and accepting help, not as making those feelings disappear, which may resonate with anxious readers.
