Seth has big goals of defeating Nemeses, but first he must earn the trust of the very villagers he wants to protect -- not an easy task when those who use magic are just as feared as the Nemeses they fight. EVen worse, Seth can barely control his monstrous powers! It'll take more than brute strength -- although it'll take that too -- to get Seth's quest out of the boonies and into the big time!" -- Back cover of volume 1.

Tony Valente began working as a comic artist with the series The Four Princes of Ganahan, written by Raphael Drommelschlager. He then launched a new three-volume project, Hana Attori, after which he produced S.P.E.E.D. Angels, a series written by Didier Tarquin and colored by Pop.

In preparation for Radiant, he relocated to Canada. Through confronting caribou and grizzlies, he gained the wherewithal to train in obscure manga techniques. Since then, his eating habits have changed, his lifestyle became completely different and even his singing voice has changed a bit!
