Charms arrives to Kickstarter to surprise us all!

Kickstarter is a wonderful world, full of incredible projects and today we have the pleasure of talking about Charms, a comic full of magic, action, animals, and karate all in a 24 page, full-color story.

Let’s talk about the book 1: The Rescue

The story will center around, Kaitlyn Cassidy, as she experiences her daily life, with all the bumps and bruises that come with being a teenage girl. We’ll meet her friends, Jo and Brady, and find out how their lives will intertwine more than they know.

Kaitlyn will deal with bullies, her stern Uncle teaching her karate, and her spunky Grandma Nora. She’ll also wrestle with why her parents are so involved with their work instead of being home with her.

And now… some backstory:

As we move through the series, Kaitlyn will find out that she is part of an ancient tribe that has the power to create magical bracelets. These “charm-bearers” can bring their animal charms to life to fight by their side.

Hundreds of years ago, the tribe was attacked and many members were slaughtered by an evil empire that is known today as Dominion Corp. The remaining tribe members were split up and dispersed among various areas around the world. Now, Dominion Corp is led by the sadistic Zane LeMaster who is in search of the magical items so that he can build a powerful army. His henchmen are constantly searching, finding, and torturing the scattered tribe to find out the secrets on how to use and create more magical jewelry.
