PLOT SYNOPSIS
No Saints Nor Poets is a chaotic adventure-romance comic full of Sea Monsters, Motor-Gondola Races, Pride, Faith, and Love Triangles. Here’s a brief synopsis: After their beloved city of Serena sinks into the dark waters of the lagoon, leaving it half-submerged, a charming two-bit con artist and a disenchanted former priest reinvent themselves as delivery men working on the razor's edge, bordering between sanctity and blasphemy on their motorized gondolas. As they fight for a brighter future, they soon realize their past is not far behind them.

ABOUT THE PUBLISHER
TIGHTROPE PRESS is a proudly queer owned, small indie Publisher with a brave purpose: to make people feel less alone through art. We think that the world right now needs LGBTQIA+ stories, especially those where the characters' sex orientation is not the main theme of the narrative. Someone can be a former priest, a sea monster hunter, a jester, a noble, a lover: just a person, without focusing on their sexuality alone. Our stories will discuss society, realistic relationships, faith, finding yourself and discovering what really matters to you, tormented and passionate love, class differences, and fantastic worlds full of possibilities: stories that can make people feel seen and, why not, stories that simply make people emotional or have a good laugh.
