At the center of the Asunda mythology is Niobe Ayutami, an orphan girl born of two nations, conceived through violence and raised in a small desert town. The character was introduced in The Untamed, which was collected in graphic novel form in 2014. Niobe’s father was a king in a country modeled on England and Europe, while her mother was the kidnapped female chief of a nomadic tribe of elves who roam a jungle region modeled after West Africa. With a target on her back, Niobe will search for her ancestors and the courage to bind them against an ancient enemy.
