Stonebreaker
Stonebreaker is the second book in the Stonebreaker Chronicles trilogy from Peter Wartman.
Anya's adventures continue in the endless, twisting streets of Noridun. With the help of her companion, Toris--the demon librarian--they search for the ultimate secret at the heart of the city.
Meanwhile, in her home village, two mysterious strangers arrive, bringing with them a plan that could transform everything. Stonebreaker is the much-anticipated sequel to Wartman's (artist on Avatar: The Last Airbender: Imbalance) acclaimed graphic novel, Over the Wall. With stunning fantasy vistas, immersive world-building, and fluid, action-packed art, Stonebreaker cements Wartman's status as a formidable break-out talent.

Praise for Peter Wartman:
Over the Wall was selected as a YALSA Great Book for Teens
[The heroine's] venture into the city [is] presented by Wartman in lavish inks and detailed haunting, labyrinthine architecture. Wartman's use of silent panels, distance, and scale suggest the overwhelming revelations facing his youthful challenger, and his visual focus on the role of storytelling is often ingeniously presented through stone inscriptions and statuary that expand upon the story. [Over the Wall is] a highly approachable adventure tale that explores the nature of quests and the motivations behind them.--Publishers Weekly
Middle-school readers will love this strong young woman and her dramatic fantasy-adventure.--Booklist
Above all of the book's technical virtuosity is a loving eye for charismatic characters who earn their charm--especially the girl and the demon she encounters as she enters the city, whose wary relationship winds up making for a simple, stunning payoff at the end that's as heart-piercing as the greatest moments of Jeff Smith's Bone.--The Onion AV Club
