SUNSTONE VOL. 3 (NEW EDITION)

From critically-acclaimed creator STJEPAN ŠEJIC (DEATH VIGIL, RAVINE, APHRODITE lX, WITCHBLADE) comes SUNSTONE, a love story like no other. Now presented in a 6x9 edition featuring all-new cover art! As domme Ally and sub Lisa’s fledgling relationship begins to blossom, it becomes clear to both of them that it isn’t just about BDSM. An ever-widening circle of friends—including fellow practitioners Tom and Cassie and skeptical tattoo artist Anne—forms around the couple, who seem to be spending every free second together. But with Ally and Lisa’s worlds becoming more intertwined, is their relationship stronger than ever? Or do they just have more to lose?
