The sandman presents: The Furies.
From the pages of the Sandman.
They stole her son,
Her life,
and her sanity.
They should have left her with something to loose.
WRITTEN BY MIKE CAREY; PAINTED ART AND COVER BY JOHN BOLTON
At the close of the immensely popular VERTIGO series THE SANDMAN, Lyta Hall's young son became the new Dream King. But what became of Lyta herself?
Her story unfolds in THE SANDMAN PRESENTS: THE FURIES - an original 96-page VERTIGO hardcover graphic novel written by Mike Carey (LUCIFER, HELLBLAZER), with photo-realistic paintings by John Bolton (THE BOOKS OF MAGIC, USER). In the three years since Daniel left to fulfill his destiny, Lyta has suffered greatly from the loss of her only son. Born half-human and half-Fury, Lyta has always connected more with her human side. But now the bloodline that has made her kin to the Furies - a terrifying trio of spirits who exact an inimitable brand of vengeance - has taken over her senses…and her sanity.
In an effort to escape her pain and unravel her mysterious heritage before it consumes her, Lyta accepts a job with a traveling theatre troupe on its way to Athens, Greece - the very location where her mother was blessed - or cursed - with the power of the Furies. But the journey ahead proves to be far more harrowing than anything Lyta has encountered, as a series of cruel and familiar mythological figures set their sights on destroying the Furies - and plan to use Lyta Hall as the ultimate pawn. Lyta finally sees the son she thought she lost forever, but is the fateful reunion with the new Lord of Dreams everything she expected?
Set in the historically rich city of Athens, the dark netherworld of Hades and the ethereal realms of existence above and in between, this mythological maelstrom of dark secrets and deception chronicles one woman's explosive journey from emotional hell to salvation.
