Shadows Over Venice: Volume Two

From the peak of high Renaissance to the near end of the Venetian republic, one thing runs through the ages like a festering magical inflammation hidden in the shady corners of the society and sticks its fangs out only in times when it can do most damage. The hereditary curse of sleepwalking, spread throughout the city in the times of the Great Plague, seems to make people do things in their unconscious state that work for the cause of another will than their own. Can enough people see through the conspiracy behind this curse in time to act before all the magical seeds of corruption reach their fruition?

There was once a little girl called Rebecca Turner…

Actually, there wasn’t because she’s really a changeling called Pumpernickel, swapped by the fairy folk as a baby. When she is called home to Faery, she refuses to leave, preferring her new life with her adoptive human parents – a decision that will put her at odds with the rest of her kind. But she’s prepared to fight to keep her human life, even if that means going to war with the whole of Faery.

By Luke Cooper, creator of Hollow Girl and AloneNotLonely, Pumpernickel is a modern fairytale about family being more than blood, no matter how much is spilled. This book collects the whole mini-series along with a bonus epilogue and pin-up.
