First King of Shannaraby Terry Brooks
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Horrified by the misuse of magic they had witnessed during the First War of the Races, the Druids at Paranor devoted themselves to the study of the old sciences, from the period before the collapse of civilization a thousand years before. Only the Bremen and a few trusted associates still studied the arcane arts. And for his persistence, Bremen found himself outcast, avoided by all but the few free-thinkers among the Druids.
But his removal from Paranor was not altogether a terrible thing, for Bremen learned that dark forces were on the move from the Northlands. That seemingly invincible armies of trolls were fast conquering all that lay to their south. That the scouts for the army--and its principal assassins--were Skull Bearers, disfigured and transformed Druids who had fallen prey to the seductions of the magic arts. And that at the heart of the evil tide was an archmage and former Druid named Brona!
Using the special skills he had acquired through his own study of Magic, Bremen was able to penetrate the huge camp of the Troll army and learn many of its secrets. And he immediately understood that if the peoples of the Four Lands were to escape eternal subjugation they would need to unite. But, even united, they would need a weapon, something so powerful that the evil magic of Brona, the Warlock Lord, would fail before its might...
Banished from Paranor because of his study of forbidden arcane arts, the Druid Bremen discovers that Brona, the evil Warlock Lord, and his dark forces are once again on the move, destroying everything in their path, and only a powerful weapon wielded by a united Four Lands can stop them. Reissue.

Aren't You Glad?
Aren't you glad that gladioli bloom in every color but blue? Also known as the Sword Lily because of its sword-shaped leaves, its height lends verticality to plantings and bouquets. In folk medicine, the corm, or stem base, was used to draw out splinters and thorns.
Gladioli bloom from the bottom up. If you're harvesting the blooms yourself, the best time to cut the gladioli stem is when one or two of the lower flower buds start to show color. They're ideal for bouquets because they are long lasting; the cut stems can last up to two weeks indoors.

Whaaat, only seven books left?
May 12, 2014
THAT'S RIGHT! There are only SEVEN books left from the first print run of Fragile Volume 1. That's... that's just amazing. Thank you very much. If you've been wanting to get one, this is your chance! You can get it in the Regular Edition (book), Collector's Edition (book + bookmark + postcards) or Gold Collector's Edition (book + bookmark + postcards + prints!). Look all the nifty prints that come with the Gold Collector's Editions:
But Shou, didn't you say that there was gonna be a new print run?
Well, things didn't work out as well as they should have, and I'm gonna have to push that a little bit. So, for the time being, these are the last Volume 1s I'll have for a while (or not, if you take them off my hands! Aaah!).
What is the plan now? We know you're always planning things.
If my Summer Convention plans don't fall through, I'll have a small batch for those. Otherwise, Volume 1 will have to wait until Volume 2 is done... and I'll KICK myself to START printing them (see what I did there?).

IDW's Littlest Pet Shop!
April 24, 2014
As you might remember from past updates, I've been working as colorist for IDW on the new Littlest Pet Shop comics! It's fun, really fun (specially the covers). The first issue is out in May, please check it out!
I've also done more cover color work for IDW, on the newest My Little Pony Micro Fun Packs (which will also be out next month)!
Was this the main reason why I haven't been updating? Not at all. While I've had to learn to manage this new workload (and amazing opportunity, thanks to all the editors), I've been constantly sick since February. First my ear, then my throat, then my stomach... I'm such an easy target for germs at the moment.
But they won't make me give up comics! Enjoy the new Fragile updates! ♥
