"In The Valley, best friends Haru and Yama both dream of leaving as they're bullied at school, frustrated at home, and struggling to figure out who they are. One day, a powerful artifact connects itself to Yama, and they discover that they'll have to journey to the mysterious Beacon in search of answers. Created by artist Joe Latham, this beautifully illustrated graphic novel, the first in a new series, is a coming-of-age tale about heart, growing up, and the sacrifices we make for those we love"-- Provided by publisher.
