As he learns the truth, he is drawn into a clash that threatens all of mankind, but could also be the key to saving the planet and starting fresh.

“I’m so excited to unveil the world of Kudzu, with its mythic beasts, rusty mechs and caverns full of a mysterious power called ‘tama’,” said Bolton. “I also can’t wait for everyone to meet Kudzu, the boy who bonds with an ancient power to save his fragile homeland from the grips of a tyrant and ultimately discovers the power that lies within himself.”
