Join me in the darkest corners of the Forgotten Realms.
Set in Faerûn, Nightblue is a Dungeons and Dragons manga following the story of two slaves. Nightjar is a Seldarine Drow Elf (he/they) born with unusual characteristics that make them a target of violence and violation. Far above the Underdark where Nightjar first encounters their enslaver, Astarion (the widely beloved pale Elf) finds himself in a startlingly similar situation. A chance meeting in Wyrm’s Crossing sets the pair on an intersecting path, wherein they eventually regain their autonomy, find love, and discover reasons to live.

Manga Shorts
These shorts will likely be integrated into the larger manga storyline at a later date. They’re short pieces that came together early to serve as teasers for audience members like you—or simply as a result of my naturally meandering creative process.
