Bestselling author Andrew Kier found the perfect place to finish his latest dark fantasy novel—an idyllic, remote cabin on the edge of a lush Swedish forest. His young daughters, Sommer and Winter, gleefully explore . . . until they happen upon a strange clearing of ancient statues: goblins, dwarves, elves, and a warrior queen mysteriously missing her swordhand and weapon. When something sinister follows the girls home and viciously snatches their parents in the night, the sisters’ only hope may be that ancient relic, lost in the forest underbrush, waiting for a new champion to take it up ...

In the borderlands between imagination and reality, horror and fantasy, follow one family’s journey through a deep Scandinavian forest where the local folklore is anything but a myth in THE AUTUMN KINGDOM #1 SECOND PRINTING – in comic shops everywhere October 2nd!
