Within the comic panels of The Solstice Treaty lies a tale of love, revenge, deceit, and redemption. But even the grandest story has its limits as there are only so many pages in which to tell it all. Throughout the book, we’ve added over fifty world-building clues: names, phrases, words, symbols. Each is a thread that leads to a .COM DOMAIN where deeper lore awaits. Some of these clues are easy to spot. Some require a curious mind to uncover what lies beneath.
These sites are optional by design, made to enhance the books with additional fun information!
Below, you’ll find a gallery of world-building clues for the first two completed books and the pages they connect to.
