The Beginning of an Unforgettable Journey

From author/illustrator Chris Boyle comes the first installment of Aldo’s journey — a charming and adventurous tale bursting with heart, humor, and hope. When a powerful flash storm leaves Aldo lost and alone at night, he must rely on the kindness of an unlikely friend to guide him back home.

Though Aldo may be the smallest of his flock, his story delivers a big-hearted message: Even in the darkest of times, a helping hand - or wing - can make all the difference. With warmth, courage, and a touch of playful fun, Aldo is a delightful read young audiences will want to enjoy over and over.

In Brok’n Rose Studios’ debut publication, The First Knight (TFK), a broken, desperate traveler embarks on a quest for vengeance against a demon that ravaged his people and destroyed his home. His journey leads him to the farthest edge of the world, where he is granted unimaginable power. But as his strength grows, so do the questions: What price must he pay for this power? And will it be enough to quench his thirst for revenge, or will it consume him entirely?

TFK was released in July 2023 through an initial Kickstarter campaign. Written and illustrated by Chris Boyle, The First Knight serves as a stand-alone prequel story, setting the stage for a future ongoing title and inviting readers into a new, imaginative world full of magic, heroes, and the balance of good and evil.
