HOPE ONE SHOT (2023)

"A powerful horror trilogy from an all-star creative team! Have you ever wondered what the cost of a selfish wish might be? A good woman, Virtue, is faced with that dilemma when she finds that her child-to-be is the spawn of the demon, Slur, a demon who has heard her wish for a daughter and magicks a quickening of her womb. Virtue gives birth to Shame and imprisons her in a magickal enclosure to protect her from her father - and the world from Shame. But Shame will go to any length to escape the prison into which she was born and bring her will into the world."

"John Bolton continues to create the best art of his career in book two of the Shame trilogy. The story picks up with Shame's evil ruling the world, with her daughter/mother, now a young woman trying to escape her enchanted prison."

"In the final book of the Shame trilogy, Virtue is once more a prisoner of her daughter. Her only ally, Merritt, is firmly under Shame's enchantment, and Slur's plan to unleash his demon hordes seems certain to be put into action. Can Virtue outwit Shame and save the world from becoming Hell's plaything?"

Hope has to deal with the corruption of a trusted friend and ally, whilst also fighting her way through the horrific monsters that bar her way back to Cradle. Her innocence and resolve is put to the test as she faces the fury of Shame's evil acolytes.

Book 6 in the Eisner-nominated fantasy series. Hope and Merritt fight their way deeper into Cradle to heal the wound that could allow demons of hell to spew their terror into the world. Shame, trapped and broken into pieces, puts her plans to recover her powers and free herself and her sorcerous allies, into action. Will Hope and Merritt stop Shame in time or will the queen of the darkest powers vanquish them all?
