Illustrated by
Charles Vess.
This Bone series prequel explains how Princess Briar and Princess Rose first took divergent paths that led to the rise of the evil Lord of the Locusts and the ultimate showdown for the battle of Northern Valley. Vess's art is faithful to Smith's originals and ably captures the spirit of an earlier age in the Bone mythology.
