Fathered by rape and suicide, the daughter of Stacy Palumbo and reluctant heir of a bloody mantle, Christine Spar is a study in seething rage. The author of the definitive account of Grendel's life, Spar is living the life of a minor celebrity, but that's all about to change. The very subject which propelled her to success is about to drag her into a dark pit of despair and anger. Soon Spar's life of metropolitan leisure will be eclipsed by that which sleeps within her, the bitter blade of Grendel and the desire for brutal balance: an eye for an eye, a death for a death. Along the way, she will find tragic love, take many lives, suffer a badl y battered body, and take on the old foe of her adoptive grandfather, Hunter Rose. This book features dramatic, ahead-of-its-time art by the Pander Brothers and refreshed colors with a palette of many emotions by Jeromy Cox. Extras include a gallery of Wagner's brilliant painted covers for the series. more
