Once Our Land

Once Our Land is a “past-apocalyptic” tale set in 1830’s Europe. We follow two survivors, 11-year-old Ingrid and 50-year-old Fritz,as they build a friendship and defeat mysterious invaders that have surfaced our world. Once Our Land was written and illustrated by Peter Ricq, along with guest illustrators.

Set in 1830’s Europe, Once Our Land is the story of 11-year-old Ingrid; a young girl forced to fend for herself in a ravaged city overrun by fearsome beasts from another world. It’s in this cruel “past-apocalyptic” world where trust is in short supply that Ingrid forges an unlikely friendship with Fritz, a grizzled, old, eye-patched warrior. Together, Fritz and Ingrid embark on a dangerous journey to rid the city they love of the cruel beasts.

Part light survival horror, part action, with strong heart and a healthy dose of levity-bringing humor, Once Our Land is an endearing tale of trust and friendship; a story about the power of community and standing united in the face of monstrous adversity.
