Years ago, Jason was a young boy magically transported to a fantasy world. There, he became the “Child Knight” and saved an elven kingdom from an evil witch.

Now an adult, Jason is back in the real world and is stuck in a mundane life as a comic shop manager. When the world of Elvenwood is in danger again, Jason is called to return. Out of shape, disillusioned, and a pain-in-the-ass to everyone around him, Jason bears little resemblance to the Child Knight he once was.

Can he once again be the hero? Can he get the girl(s)? Can he finally get his act together and save the day once more?

Rick, a small-time crook in Los Angeles, accidentally acquires the power of the dragon and gets mixed up in an ancient mystical battle between good and evil that’s been fought since the days of ancient China. It’s an epic martial arts saga filled with action, magic, poor decisions, dragons, and surly baristas.

“White Cat Entertainment was built on the idea that storytelling could be fun, diverse, and thought-provoking all at once. We’ve always pushed the boundaries, and partnering with Massive Publishing allows us to bring our work to an even wider audience,” said Chris Mancini. “I’m really excited to be working with Massive and Michael Calero under their Massive Indies banner. Michael understands the need for indie (and comedic) voices in comics, and he has always been a champion of the cause. Plus, he is a talented artist and creator himself, so he understands every aspect of the journey.”

This mutual respect for creativity and independent voices is what makes this partnership so exciting. The admiration is shared on both sides.

Massive Publishing CEO/Publisher Michael Calero added, “We’ve been fans of Chris Mancini and White Cat Entertainment for years. The stories they tell are funny, charming, and filled with genre nostalgia. Their books are a perfect addition to Massive Indies and will stand out on comic shop shelves.”
