The Stories of Haven: I

Haven is a city in peril. Crime has increasingly become a fact of life as different factions vie for control of the city’s vast power and wealth. The authorities are pressed at every turn, often too weak to respond to emergencies, almost equally as often influenced by forces with ill intent. The city is home to millions and attracts more, some seeking opportunity, some seeking escape, still others seeking something else. In desperation, some of its citizens have taken to wearing costumes and creating alternate identities to fight crime. In turn, the criminals have donned masks to hide their own identities, create alternate personae, or both.

Follow characters like Jaguar,  Reaper, Grimm and more as they create new stories of epic legend and adventure.

Haven was started in 1994 as part of a literary nonprofit called Anthology through their magazine of the same name. In 2009, Anthology asked Brick Cave Media to develop and promote the Haven series as a separate entity. This book is the result of that effort.
