HOPELESS, MAINE: INHERITANCE
Written by NIMUE & TOM BROWN
Illustrated & Cover by TOM & NIMUE BROWN
Being kidnapped by a troll was not what Bean expected from a simple errand to collect mushrooms.
Now the young dishwasher is deep underground, in a forgotten and ruined city, to collect a legendary weapon for the troll – or be killed. But when the sword sings him a new fate, he learns that his future is far bigger than a small, forgotten inn.
