The Great Invasion originated from the sea.
It moved north across the mainland.
Many fled, while some took refuge on a small concrete island called Celestia , built over a thousand years ago.
Now cut off from the mainland, Celestia has become an outpost for criminals and other misfits, as well as a refuge for a group of young telepaths.
Events push two of them, Dora and Pierrot, to flee the island and set sail to the mainland.
There, they discover a world on the precipice of a metamorphosis, though also a world where adults are literally prisoners of their own fortresses, unintentionally preserving the old world at a time when a new generation could guide society towards a better humanity.
Celestia is the most ambitious and successful graphic novel to date by one of the world's most exciting storytellers.
