Once Our Land

Ingrid is at her home base looking up at a beam of light that cascades down from the roof above her.

About

Set in 1830’s Europe, Once Our Land is the story of Fritz and Ingrid

who embark on a journey to rid the city they love of cruel beasts and learn to trust again. Part light survival horror, part action, with strong heart – this is an endearing tale of trust and friendship; a story about the power of community and standing united in the face of monstrous adversity.
