Description

To be born a slave is a fact, not a fatality. And facts can be changed.In the country of Ossaniul, there is a fortress that is as disproportionate as it is inaccessible: the Highest House. Its masters, the noble family of Aldercrest, reign over a veritable army of slaves. At the bottom of the ladder, young Moth performs the most thankless tasks and has little hope of living past childhood. Until the day he meets Obsidian, a mysterious prisoner of the House who whispers to him in his sleep. If Moth does what he asks, Obsidian will give him fortune and glory. And there's every indication that Obsidian can make good on his promises. Will Moth accept the offer?Through a subtle alternate history, The Highest House takes us to a fictional country reminiscent of the Balkan kingdoms of the 16th century. Mike Carrey and Peter Gross (Lucifer, The Unwritten) draw from this context a captivating fantasy narrative that reflects on the human soul, the corrupting power of slavery, and the inequalities of class, all from the different perspectives of the House's many inhabitants. Both immediate and timeless, The Highest House is a multifaceted fantasy sure to stay with readers long after the final page has turned.

I didn't realize this was the author of the Lucifer books I had read as a teen, the style of the story is very different. This is such a good tale I read it twice in a row. Classic coming of age story, don't want to spoil it for anyone. This would be absolutely appropriate for kids, there is no nudity or gore and the story is compelling. There is one two-ladies-in-bed scene, I'd not give it to the middle school because there are some judgemental/reactionary parents, but I'd be absolutely comfortable with any of my kids over 8 years reading it.Highly recommended for all ages, such a wonderful comic. The art serves the story very well, but mostly I loved the storyline and the characters.
