KYRIE tells the story of ​a curious band of thieves, cutthroats, bookworms and traitors as they attempt to outsmart the North African authorities, while navigating their own dark and competing desires as outlaws of a dying Roman Empire.

Book One of this unique graphic novel series is ready to be put into your hands! And most importantly:
 

All 128 pages are already finished!

Book 1: The Curse of the Macedonian Scroll

Chapter 1: Prologue
The book opens with an unlikely troupe of thieves, a duo called the Thunder Brothers and led by the treasure hunter Myra, as they race to escape Alexandrian Egypt with the Red Lady of Babylon - an infernal ruby coveted by both Roman and Persian Empires, containing an encrypted message from civilization's dawn.

Chapter 2: The Red Lady of Babylon
The robbers escape by stealing Senator Valerian's sailing ship, only to discover a prisoner aboard named Marcus, who knows how to reveal the Red Lady's message, and a scroll from Macedon which explains it. But is this mysterious prisoner more dangerous than the Roman naval authorities who are already hunting them down?
