Reprinting Meridian issues #1-7, this trade paperback is the perfect
introduction for readers who have yet to try this fantastic series. The trade
paperback tells the story of 16-year old Sephie, who lives on a world where
cities float in the sky and ships travel through the air. Her city, Meridian, is
a city with an economy based on shipbuilding and made up of the finest
craftsmen. All is well on Meridian until Sephie's Uncle Ilahn comes to visit his
brother Turos, Meridian's Minister. Ilahn is the Minister of the sky city of
Cadador. All his life he has dreamed of taking control of Meridian away from his
brother and ruling the greatest empire on the planet. When both Turos and Ilahn
are engulfed in a strange light, both are granted the sigil, the strange mark of
power. Unfortunately, that power is too much for Turos to bear and his mark is
transferred to his daughter, Sephie. What does the sigil mean? How did they both
come to get it? What type of power does it bring? And with Turos out of the way,
how can Sephie stop her Uncle from fulfilling his dreams of conquest? Follow
Sephie's plight as she is whisked away from her homeland and realizes it is now
her responsibility to find her way home to save her people from the oncoming
invasion by Cadador. Also included is a complete cover gallery and humorous
anecdotes from Barbara Kesel and other creators who have worked on this title.
Colored by Mike Atiyeh, Morry Hollowell, and Paul Mounts. Fully painted cover by
