The Few and Cursed, book 1: Crows of Mana'OlanaFelipe Cagno et Fabiano Neves2021

It's been seventy years already since most of the water on the planet was simply gone overnight in a mysterious apocalyptic event. Mankind has long adapted to survive this harsh environment but water has become so scarce that it is now the currency of the world. And in this new alternate Old West reality either the meek find an edge or they perish, it's as simple as that. It's no wonder that evil has blossomed in ways that before were unimaginable.

Dark arts, old tales of mischief, folklore and curses are now everywhere and people have really shown their true colors becoming shockingly evil and devastatingly wicked monsters. Desperate times call for desperate measures and many have turned to the darkest corners of their soul to survive: a vial of supernatural poison, a cursed coin, a hangman's tree, a dangerous book, all ways to give folks a shot at survival...

...no matter what they become in the process.

There's good water to be made hunting down beasts and monsters and Curse Chasers are always eager to help those in need (for the right flask of water of course). Enter the tough and mysterious Redhead.

Red is a hardened survivor traveling from town to town looking for scared whispers in the night and the right people to pay her to get rid of those whispers.

Mana'Olana is a small town in the Honolulu Mountains region where a bedtime story about giant Crows that kidnap children in the silent of night originated. It turns out the Crows aren't exactly fiction.
