SHADOW Fae Montgomery This painting is the cover art from an in-progress graphic novel, Shadow, by Fae Montgomery. The graphic novel explores the power of collective human belief in shaping creation and questions the afterlife. It follows a former goddess of death and shadows as she wakes to a world that has moved beyond her time. Horrified that the afterlife she ruled no longer exists, she embarks upon a quest to find the lost souls she once tended. To increase diversity in literary representation, the main characters of Shadow are queer and/or minority figures. 43
