War and Horses | Illustrated Novel | Break Kickstarter

Created by Oneshi Press

A weird western illustrated novel set in the Children of Gaia fantasy universe. Deep in the dustbowl of the newly formed Republic of Draven, the old aristocracy coexists with a new democratic government in an uneasy peace that’s often broken by conflict. Famine and drought wrack the once-fertile region—and violence is a spark to dry grass. Into the midst of the chaos walks a shadowy figure: the Triggerman. The only thing certain about him is that he leaves a trail of chaos in his wake. Following that trail is writer Landon Ford, a journalist documenting the Triggerman’s exploits and digging for the truth of his identity. "War & Horses" is Ford’s work: a series of dime-store books popular in both Terra and the new world of Rendaraia...and whispered by some to be ridiculous fiction. But the Triggerman is very real—and his true purpose may become the story of Ford’s life. "War & Horses" is the second full-length book in the Children of Gaia series, following "The Great Nations of Rendaraia" and two short comics: "Refuge" and "Carrying Iron."

Howdy, partners! 

We thought you might like to know that we've ordered all your physical rewards—including art prints, stickers, postcards .... and print copies of War & Horses! Barring any unforseen mess-ups in printing or shipping (please cross your fingers for us!), we should have mailings out to you in early December.

Now that we've crossed that off our list, we'll be getting all of the digital rewards prepared in the next week. So keep your eyes on your inboxes—BackerKit will start distributing those soon!

Stay tuned to our Kickstarter updates—we'll have announcements coming in quick as we plan an online book launch party and share media coverage of this gun-slinging weird western's debut!
