{"product_id":"the-curse-ii-a-graphic-ballad-the-path-of-none","title":"The Curse II: A Graphic Ballad (The Path of None)","description":"Pain is a forge. The soul, raw metal.\nAs the Dark One continues his quest for Truth, doubts begin to rise. The pain and suffering he unleashes upon the world grow heavy—too heavy even for his own eyes to bear. Burdened, he turns south to seek what was lost, to discover whether his steps are true—or false.\nMeanwhile, in the world burnt and cursed—the world he left behind—a child is born. A child like any other, yet unlike all. He enters a realm where the fear of the Dark One’s return shadows every thought of the future. Yet few dare to fight their fate. To save him from that dark destiny, his father carries him into the mountains, entrusting him to six hidden sages—keepers of ancient disciplines and inner alchemy.\nEnduring silence and fire, Dræven is tempered through years of brutal training, haunted visions, and revelations that cut deeper than steel.\nBut when the Dark One returns, will he be ready to face the Truth that waits in the deepest of darks?\nBrought to life in stark, breathtaking gothic art, The Curse II is a haunting symphony of despair, transformation, and desperate hope. Dark, immersive, and achingly poetic, it pulls readers into a dreamlike labyrinth where every step echoes with rage, sacrifice, and the fragile possibility of redemption.\nPerfect for fans of Berserk, The Crow, and grimdark masterpieces by Joe Abercrombie and Mark Lawrence.\n\nPLEASE NOTE:\nThe paperbacks and hardcovers offered on Amazon are in black \u0026amp; white.\nExclusive full-color hardcover editions with coated pages are available—see the author’s website for details.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DYZKVX14\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0DYZKVX14.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Zoderot, Alexander Gabriel\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
