Beschreibung

In Ottoman Greece, a motherless girl named Daphne leads a suffocating farmer's life. When her older brother dies after a short illness, her patriarch father curses God for leaving him with only a daughter. Unable to pay the local priest for his son's burial, he compels Daphne to go to the village and beg for money. Daphne gets rejected and mocked by the villagers, and flees to the mountains, where she finds a gold pouch. She dares to dream -- this could be her way out. But just before she's about to carry out her escape plan, the Devil pays her a visit. These lands belong to him. And pay- ment is due.

Black Mass Rising author Theo Prasidis and emerging artist Stas a Gacpar invite you to the mystical countryside of 19th century Greece, a land wreathed in legends and superstition. Inspired by actual folktales of the time, THE GIRL, THE PRIEST, AND THE DEVIL is a captivating graphic novel with the otherworldly quality of the weird folklore of old.
