Description
Lapis Lazuli, a semi-precious gemstone found deep within Afghanistan's Badakhshan province, has long been a source of tranquility for its people. However, recent years have brought war to these remote villages, as the Taliban seek to exploit the region's riches. The United States Marines are sent to combat the Taliban and restore the gemstone trade to the local population. Led by Sergeant King, the Marines find themselves in an epic clash with the Taliban, known as the Horsemen, who control the lucrative gemstone export market. This graphic novel is a visceral examination of prejudice and the military remnants of colonialism, set against the stark beauty of Afghanistan's mountain villages. It is also a story of human connection and kindness, amidst violence in all its forms. The book explores the complexities of conflict and the human cost of war, as the Marines struggle to maintain order in a treacherous region.
