A sweeping saga of two brothers locked in combat in in colonial 1940s Burma, where an ancient magic will decide their fate, and that of the whole country. When a buried city is discovered deep in the Burmese jungle by a cruel 16th-century monarch, he unleashes an evil counterpart, thanks to three mysterious mirrors. Five centuries later, the country is under British colonial rule, and being invaded by the Japanese. British twin brothers, Alex and Lance Waters - the Governor's sons - take opposing sides in the struggle for Burma's independence during World War Two, in this tale of ancestral legends, magic, passion, and freedom.
This was one of the first Humanoids titles that I've read and while it's a translated reprint, it was still a treat to find and read. I'm checking out more of their books so I'll have more reviews from the publisher, but this was definitely a great place to start. If you like period pieces, but with a supernatural element then I would really encourage you to check out Mandalay. It's a delightful graphic novel. Read Full Review
