B. Mure – författare

In the city of Ismyre, something is stirring...An aristocratic businessman reveals the latest must have: a pillar of crystals that allows for the creation of beautiful illusions and powerful spells to be performed. At the same time, Henriett, a disgraced biology professor, feels the disquiet in the air as specimens she has studied for years begin inexplicably dying out.On travelling to Ismyre, to warn the current Prime Minister and council of an imbalance within the world's ecosystem and magic, she encounters a young magician called Niklas who is there for a very different reason. Alongside a crew of ex-academics and inhabitants of smaller surrounding villages, Henriett and Niklas work together to uncover the strange imbalance being created in the world.In moving pencil and watercolor artwork, this graphic novel explores the motives and back story of Ismyre's mysterious eco-anarchist wizards and their terroristic, floral tendencies.

Off the coast of Ismyre, a group of illicit magicians have built a school for orphans, educating them in the ways of long forgotten divinations. From high up in this forbidden home, a young scholar keeps dreaming visions of a terrible future and looks out across the ocean for answers. As her dreams become more frequent, and more terrible, she must figure out how to act herself. B. Mure returns to the world of Ismyre for another quiet and fantastical mystery tale, set in an old world of ordinary magic.

When the Prime Minister announces a new rail line in Ismyre, there are protests: from the wizards, who are concerned about the country's magic, from the naturalists, who fear the damage to the soil, plants, and animals, and from the Sisters of Our Lady Who Slumbers Under the Earth, who would prefer their giant serpent deity to rest peacefully. As the railway proceeds, the worries of the wizards and the naturalists come to pass... and the earth has begun to shake... A new book in the creative, fantastical Ismyre series drawn in pencil and watercolour by Nottingham-based creator B. Mure who continues to expand the Ismyre universe, this time with a story of industry and ecology.

In the sweeping conclusion to B. Mure's quietly powerful and allegorical Ismyre saga, the city trembles in the aftermath of the catastrophic events that closed Disciples of the Soil. With the land still shifting beneath their feet and political tensions at an all-time high, the citizens of Ismyre must confront the consequences of unchecked ambition, ecological imbalance, and years of simmering unrest. Told with Mure's signature tenderness, wry humour, and atmospheric watercolour artwork, this final volume weaves together themes of resistance, community care, environmental stewardship, and the fragile, ever-present hope that small actions can reshape the world. Both intimate and sweeping in scope, it brings the Ismyre cycle to a deeply human, cathartic, and magical close - a farewell to a world of quiet wonders, uneasy truths, and the enduring strength found in solidarity. The final Ismyre graphic novel is a poignant, beautifully crafted conclusion to one of contemporary comics' most distinctive and enchanting fantasy series.
