Linnea Sterte’s A Garden of Spheres is a beautifully illustrated fantasy graphic work of epic storytelling that presents a mythic cosmos of gods and demigods in conflict across a rich biosphere of humans, dragons, and imaginative creatures large and small. The book follows the travels of Lica, “the un-maker,” an eccentric demigoddess whose wanderings introduce the reader to a dazzling world of deities, vast landscapes, and ancient cities racked by wars of unknown origin and uncertain resolution.

In this nine-page excerpt we witness the birth and early life of a dragon. A Garden of Spheres by Linnea Sterte is out now from Peow2.
