THE HEART HUNTER, the Second Title from the New Legendary Comics YA Imprint, on Sale Today
The Heart Hunter, a dark fairy tale taking readers on a journey that explores immortality, love, and greed on a cursed island, is now on sale in stores and online. The original YA graphic novel is the second title from the new Legendary Comics YA imprint.
The Heart Hunter is set on the cursed island of Envecor, where everyone is doomed to wear their heart outside their body and are immortal—unable to die, to change, to have children—until they find their soul mate. Paired soul mates are then turned mortal, freed from the curse, and able to leave. But all fairy tales have a dark side: those who don’t want to lose their immortality pay “Heart Hunters” to find their soul mates and kill them so they may remain immortal. Psyche, a Heart Hunter, is hired by the king to kill his soulmate. As she sets out on her quest, she begins her own journey of mending her broken heart and learning to trust again.
