Publisher's Synopsis
ACTION-PACKED GRAPHIC NOVEL PERFECT FOR FANS OF THE BOXERS AND SAINTS SERIES
Five hundred years ago, in an age marked by war, plague, inequality and religious coercion, there were people across Europe who dared to imagine a society of sharing, peace, and freedom of conscience. These radicals were ready to die for their vision. They were executed by thousands - by water, by fire, and by sword - in both Catholic and Protestant states. Their story comes to life in this graphic novel, the first in a series that dramatically recreates a little-known chapter in the history of the Reformation.
By Water is the historically accurate account of young people standing up for their convictions against the corrupt political and religious leaders of their day.
