Years ago, Skywise fled the elves’ utopian Starhome on a cosmos-spanning journey, to reunite with his departed “brother in all but blood” Cutter, neither knowing nor caring what perils might lie along the way. Jink, now grown to adulthood, also voyages outward to find her long-lost father, to aid him in his desperate quest – and mend a great wrong.

David and Shekinah talk all about Jink’s first adventure on the World of Two Moons where she meets the various tribes, offends Queen Oddbit and causes drooling among elves and trolls alike–including Cutter and Leetah’s son Goldruff.

Reading this as a whole I see more of what we’ve had brief glimpses of in ElfQuest’s past but is now a full-blown tale of the gods.
