An award-winning graphic novel in the 2021 Hollywood Book Festival:

Meet Dark Cloud, a young woman who comes from a traumatic past that she can't afford to remember, leaving her on high alert and trusting of no one. The sole exception is Ricardo de Castile, the wizard-like engineer who dresses as a Franciscan monk to hide his true specialty and is the creator of the combat robot that has Dark Cloud's back. Originally designed as a prototype doomsday weapon by the Federal Government, the combat robot, now renamed Klaatu, has been reprogrammed by Ricardo to fight as part of a team alongside the daughter he should have had in the first place: Dark Cloud. Normally she would prefer to hide from the world as it has become, but when she finds out her militaristic neighbor, General Stone, has acquired a nuke, Dark Cloud's love for the land will not let her stand idly by.

Welcome to the Future West...
