  Many have heard the myth of the Philosopher's Stone, which, it is said, can turn base metals to gold and possibly, grant eternal life. Very few have learnt the secret of the First Matter, the mysterious element which can create the stone, and they are not in a hurry to share it. Riddler's Fayre is a brand new series of graphic novels based in the times following the Third Crusade, and features a vanquished Crusader, a sorcerer's apprentice, the Wandering Jew, an exiled English boy and his guardian, plus a showgirl and her Fayre - a troupe of travelling artisans and animals. All of them are united by one thing, the quest to put right the defeats of the past: perhaps, an alchemical riddle will give one team the advantage.
