But he’s not exactly going about it the right way.
Noam’s a good kid, and he’s got the right idea about his country needing change. When he lives through an outbreak and comes through on the other side with a rare magical gift, he thinks he’s finally found way to make a real impact. Noam Álvaro, the son of Atlantian refugees, has long worked to make Carolinia better for those like himself and his parents, people living in abject poverty and dealing with discrimination at the hands of those who think themselves “better than.” Even if doing so means criminal activity. They’re also a nation under stress: more refugees from Atlantia arrive every day, and with them more chances for a viral outbreak. The nation of Carolinia is one of the only ones to accept witchings, humans with viral-given magical abilities. In an alternate reality, the United States experienced a catastrophic event that killed millions and broke the country into several sovereign nations. There’s something Twilight Zone-creepy about the little man in the middle, however, which keeps this from being a total hit. I do love the colors, and the juxtaposition of the gold text on the blues and purples. Trigger Warning: The Fever King includes scenes suggested physical and sexual abuse, as well as examples of past abuse, that might be triggering for some readers.Ī little on the nose, maybe, but it’s hard not to notice the fact that it’s covering the entire cover.
