Alva in the Dark Vol.1

A young thief marked by an ancient witch bloodline becomes prey in this Nordic noir folk-horror graphic novel, as mercenaries hunt her across a frozen Scandinavia for her magic. Alva makes her living on the margins, running break-ins with her small-time crew and keeping her head down. But when a late-night burglary uncovers an ancient witch imprisoned behind a steel door, her life spirals into a supernatural thriller. Forced to flee across the frozen north with her friend Mini, Alva becomes the target of the Craftsmen, a secretive order obsessed with hunting the magical Aldinn tribes. As their world closes in, Alva discovers she isn’t just another thief: she carries the blood of the Fell, a near-extinct people with abilities the Craftsmen will do anything to control. To survive, Alva must decide who she can trust, uncover the truth about her mysterious origins, and navigate a violent, shifting landscape where humans and monsters are not so easily told apart. This fresh take on witchcraft is the first graphic novel of the planned Scandi-noir horror trilogy from creators Aksel Studsgarth and Daniel Hansen. Fans of European comics, supernatural thrillers, and richly imagined mythologies will be enchanted by this contemporary dark fantasy.
