The Raven's Child

Thomas E. Sniegoski has entranced audiences with his exploration of the Batman universe, thrilled fans with his Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics, and uncovered the paranormal with his Hellboy spin-off series, B.R.P.D. Now he introduces readers to a mesmerizing dark world filled with monsters, where humanity's only hope lies in the bravery of one woman . . . When the Throng came, the human race never stood a chance. The monsters were simply too strong, too numerous. It took only months for them to prevail and leave the few poor souls who survived cowering in terror for years to come. But even the monsters fear something: the dark goddess known as the Raven's Child. Legend says that she alone is destined to destroy the Throng and free those under its cruel power. And whoever wields her name and image could become the bane of the Throng and an inspiration to humankind - even if she was only a young woman, like Carissa Devin, who has vowed to reclaim the world for the human race, no matter what the cost . . .
