The parents of were-rat Lydia Iceron leaders of the were-rat clan, recently engineered their own demise after assuring that 1) Lydia was properly trained to survive their absence and 2) she had two friends whom she could trust absolutely. Now Lydia has inherited the Throne of Shadows, which allows its rightful heir to read his/her underlings' minds, and all the power that comes with it. There's a couple of problems, though. The first is that she doesn't WANT it. She'd prefer to take the money and run with her two friends, Moisha Rich and Romeo Ellis. The second is that several former members of the super-criminal organization Crime Syndicate-X DO want it, and are all too ready to cause Lydia and her friends any amount of pain and suffering to get it! This thrill-packed paperback collects the entire fan-favorite four-issue mini-series by GD creator Fred Perry and monster-master Craig Babiar (I Hunt Monsters, Pirates vs. Ninjas)! Don't let it get stolen from you!

Lydia is defeated. She is now Techninja's willing slave, an oracle of the greatest artifact in all of the underworld, the Throne of Shadows. With it, Lydia sees clearly through the darkests of shadows, the secrets of the blackest hearts. But in her vision, she also sees her allies moving to the rescue.

The were-rat trio have set up shop in a Columbian cartel's headquarters after buying out the old drug lord's minions and guards. Lydia quickly turns on Moisha and Romeo, though, driving them away, but this only gives Techninja and his supervillain team a prime chance to capture Lydia's friends!

Lydia, Moisha and Romeo regroup on their new yacht to figure out what to do about the people out to kill Lydia so the were-rat throne--and the reins of the criminal underworld--will be up for grabs. Between the stealthy Techninja scoping them out, the power-packin' T-Hawk and the feral Rabid striking head-on, and the indestructible zombie Burnhead heading their way with an underwater mine, the were-rats might not survive long enough to leave a sinking ship!

Fred Perry’s wily were-rat trio explode into their own miniseries! With the death of her parents, the were-rat clan elders, Lydia Iceron (a.k.a. McKraken) is now the heir to the clan’s throne. She doesn’t have any immediate interest in it, but there are others who do—mainly a few members of Crime Syndicate X! But as long as Lydia’s alive, no one else can claim the throne... Fred’s action- and hilarity-packed writing combines with the eye-catching art of fan-favorite Craig Babiar (Warrior Nun, I Hunt Monsters) to form one incredible, roller-coaster ride of a miniseries! This issue also features a front cover by Fred and a flip cover by Craig!
