Chadhiyana Volume 1
In the Company of Shadows
The shadowy order known as the Tal-Ifatiir is on a quest to destroy the demon lord, Aghal-Paraag. So, their leader, the Immortal Ralaan ad-Zaliir, sends them into an unknown land to capture the demon lord's servant: a powerful witch with nefarious goals of her own. However, Chadhiyana, the order's first female member, holds a horrible secret from her past and is plagued by troubles she's afraid to reveal. As the company journeys to Aghal-Paraag's prison, one misfortune after another befalls them. What can be the source of their troubles? The witch? The demon lord himself? Perhaps it is Chadhiyana or the secret she has sealed behind her closed lips. Previously released as a web comic, this alluring mythology follows a strong, beautiful woman with a fiery temper and a fanatical sense of justice. Yet beneath her hard exterior lies a vulnerability that her enemies seek to exploit. Taking place in a medieval Fantasy world based on India and Middle East, Chadhiyana follows its title character as she comes to terms with her past and finds her place in the world. Beautifully illustrated in a watercolor effect, the artwork in this narrative is exaggerated and striking.
