Synopsis: The Seven Deadly Sins--a legendary order that once served the Kingdom of Liones as the mightiest of its Holy Knights--stand accused of treason and have fled the realm. Princess Margaret and young Gilthunder, the slain commander Zaratras' son, know the terrible truth about the betrayal but dare not speak of it, not even to each other. ~ The aftermath of the event that shook Britannia comes to life in seven prose chapters that provide a superb introduction to the rich world of the original comic and satisfy longtime fans' craving for more. Illustrated in a classic, warm style by the creator himself, Seven Scars They Left Behind walks the royal road of fantasy.
