The BrideWhen I saw this title on NetGalley, I was intrigued. The summary of the book led my thoughts down a path of “what-ifs” and I was thrilled when I received the approval.
Levius/est Vol 1Direct sequel to the manga Levius, Haruhisa Nakata’s Levius/est Vol. 1 is a science fiction manga. It opens after a devastating war. But now, things are different.
