Jocosta is still determined to reach Mani Depu, and for reasons unknown, the leader of the rebels sends her and Scrag there…with Jovis to accompany them.

Monsterwood Book 2: Awakening, is the second of three, 60 page Monsterwood graphic novels, which together, will comprise the first story arc.
Monsterwood falls squarely in the coming-of-age mythos, but contains significant twists, outlandish creatures, strong female characters, plenty of sinister villains, and tons of action and adventure. Monsterwood has a fairy tale like aesthetic with appropriately dark edges, resulting in a look and feel that is at-once ancient, mysterious, haunting, and beautiful.
If you are a fan of classic hero's journey fantasy such as, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, and Lord of The Rings, or 70's and 80's cinematic fantasy like Bakshi's Wizards and Fire and Ice, Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, then MONSTERWOOD is for YOU!
