This book is based on an old legend. It was thoroughly weird. A woman builds her husband the King a seaside place that is grand and beautiful. They have two daughters and continue to grow their kingdom until the Queen passes away. The daughters were close in childhood but as they mature they drift apart. The dark haired daughter wants a simple life with a farm boy. The red headed daughter wants all the trappings of being a princess. But they come at a cost. There is evil lurking. This graphic novel has intrique, beheadings, sex candles, and all the sea monsters a person could want. It was very interesting and a legend this reader had never heard of before.
