The Primal Rift is the lastest book in a YA adventure series called "The Chaos Portal". Scifi and adventure makes this the perfect gift for a younger audience... Or yourself! Pst, you can pick up the previous books via pledge too!

Dungeons and Dragons meets young adult fantasy. The third installment of an expanding series of dark magic and blossoming friendship.

Hey, I'm looking for comics and graphic novels *by* Indigenous writers and/or illustrators, especially in the Americas. Doesn't have to be a recent book. Any genre! Any topic, any themes, does not have to be a memoir or history, though that is welcome too!
