When your home is gone and those who raised you and trained you have also become your greatest betrayers, whom can you trust? In Dark Horse’s The Portent: Ashes, a sequel graphic novel to Peter Bergting‘s The Portent: Duende, Bergting brings the character of Lin to the forefront as she searches for answers of her own.

Ten years after having defeated the demon Guishen, the wood nymph turned warrior Lin finds herself returned to the land of the living from the spirit realm, only to discover she has no physical home to return to. Once again torn between the coven of witches that would use her, her respect for a father figure of old, and her love for the warrior Milo, Lin must travel the outskirts of an old, yet oddly new land to confront those who would bring it harm – even if those individuals are the ones who helped raise her.
