Overview

Sennen's life is mostly perfect - spending her days tending the fields in her idyllic village and her evenings with her beloved family, all tucked into the crook of a green and beautiful valley. And if it wasn't for the masked figures descending from the hills with increasing regularity to take their harvested food to deliver to their Gods, she'd have no worries at all. But when the demands for tribute strike closer to home, Sennen is forced to flee the paradise of her valley and venture into the home of the Gods to save her family and their way of life - only to discover that those we worship are not always what they seem, and the lives we lead are not always so simplistic after all. Sennen, the debut graphic novel from exciting new British author and artist Shanti Rai, tells a timeless tale of adventure, and the discoveries we make as we explore beyond the boundaries of our childhood, into the uncertainty of the adult world.

"""A sensitive and beautiful coming-of-age story with some unexpected twists. Rai displays an assured understanding of how to play with panel layouts to reflect mood and theme."" - Broken Frontier"

A strikingly immediate tangibly connective reading experience, Persephone summarises its subject's plight in this solitary and affecting vignette with an emotional rawness that a traditional and drawn-out retelling of the myth would struggle to capture with the same intuitive clarity and empathetic depth. -- Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier There's no denying the intrinsic strengths of Rai's visual storytelling or the poignant and heartrending impact on the reader. A perfect introductory entry point to the style and work of a newer creator who I suspect we will be hearing a lot more about in the coming months. -- Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier
