Dark One

1 book

A dark fantasy graphic novel (non-Cosmere) about Paul Tanasin, a man from our world who discovers he's destined to become the Dark One — the villain prophesied to destroy a fantasy realm. It inverts the chosen-one trope by asking what happens when you're chosen to be the bad guy.

Currently just one volume. Darker and more psychologically intense than most Sanderson works.
