Skull Maiden — Book One is a mythic graphic novel centered on a warrior shaped by ritual, violence, and survival in a brutal pre-modern world. The story follows her rise within a blood-bound culture where power is earned through endurance and loss, and where blood serves not only as sacrifice, but as a living thread that binds past and present. Through this connection, memory, ancestry, and consequence refuse to remain buried, allowing history to actively shape the present.
Book One presents a complete narrative arc that establishes the world, the central character, and the moral weight of her actions. The work emphasizes consequence over spectacle, grounding its mythic elements in physicality, trauma, and human decision-making. Told through sequential art, the project combines disciplined writing with visual storytelling to create a self-contained graphic novel intended for adult readers, to be released in print and digital formats.
