Icarus tells the story of two unlikely heroes: a winged young man who falls into a dormant volcano with no memory of anything but his name, and a flamepetal prospector down on his luck (and everything else). Together they must discover the secret of Icarus’s identity if they are to save their worlds from those who want his powers for themselves.
We are proud to present this story of wonder, friendship, and a battle to overcome tyranny, with creatures who discover that what unites them at the core is more important than what divides them on the surface.
Note: Icarus is not a retelling of the myth of Icarus and Daedalus. It is a new story inspired by the idea of a winged man, tumbling from the heights.
“An epic fantasy of high and low, hot and cold, with art that leaps off the page, and a very good dog.” — Amal El-Mohtar, award winning co-author of This is How You Lose the Time War
“A modern fable about friendship and self-discovery. Wilson has crafted a beautiful maze of a story, with surprises around every corner, brought to beautiful life by Fabbio’s striking art.” — Michael R. Underwood, author of Annihilation Aria and the Genrenauts series
“Intriguingly cinematic. Even in a world of demons, monsters, grueling work and oppression, there are hints of light throughout. The artwork is particularly striking…throw in some intense action and adventure, and I’m hooked.” — Brandon Crilly, Black Gate
