The Yhathlin Saga

World War Z meets The Dark Crystal in an Epic Fantasy Saga

The Yhathlin Saga follows the adventures of Min, royal daughter of the elven-like Yhathlin. Min was born to be a diplomat before her underground civilization was overrun by an apocalyptic plague and her ordered world disappeared in a flood of blood, teeth, and hunger. Now, alien and alone on a surface world she was never meant to see, Min must navigate death and despair to find her place amid the remnants of humanity.

Spanning centuries, this multi-genre mashup will thrill you and break your heart in equal measure.

With lush illustrations throughout by Thomas Brown.

Min, royal daughter of the elven-like Yhathlin, was born to be a diplomat. Representing her nation at the joint American-Canadian embassy in her subterranean city, she was good at walking the tightrope between the edicts of blood and birth-order that governed her people, the bewildering emotions of her human colleagues, and the strict rules of the Yhathlani Treaty. Then her city was overrun by an apocalyptic plague, and her ordered world disappeared in a flood of blood, teeth, and hunger. 

Now, fifteen years later, Min is a refugee in the dying remnants of Washington, D.C.. Alien and alone, with only the voices of those she’s lost to guide her, she has one reason left to live: to protect Sophie, the last living relative of her human diplomats, or die trying.
