The High Seas Save

(BEAST SAVERS! Vol. 1)

Wren Goldsmith and his Companion Beast, Tolstoy, are on their way to the beautiful Pomm Islands!

A mysterious infection has been causing normally peaceful Beasts to go on violent rampages, and the island’s lead Saver, Dr. Moira Moraine, needs help getting to the bottom of it. That is, if they don’t end up at the bottom of the ocean first!

Out of nowhere, Wren and Tolstoy’s cruise ship is attacked by a huge, angry Beast! It’s possible this Beast is suffering from the same illness they’ve been sent to the islands to investigate. But there’s only one way to find out…

It’s time to do some Beast Saving!
