In this action-packed, hilarious fantasy graphic novel perfect for fans of Nimona and The Adventure Zone , Maelstrom, the demon son of an evil tyrant improbably teams up with the Hero of Virtue to take his mother down--that is, unless, Maelstrom decides to betray the Hero first. Maelstrom is a half-demon prince pining for a place in history. (Honestly, he's just bored and searching for a way to pass the time.) Twigs is the young, prophesized Hero of Virtue fated to face him--or so we've been told . But Maelstrom's mother, regent to the throne and a powerful necromancer, is determined to keep an iron grip on her domain. Bemoaning his lost destiny, Maelstrom teams up with the Hero to stop his mother and forge a new destiny for himself. What Twigs doesn't know is that Maelstrom has a cunning plan to build his own epic legend and double-cross Twigs at the perfect moment. "Memorable characters drew me right into this gorgeous coming-of-age adventure that's as hilarious as it is heartfelt.

" --Carey Pietsch, bestselling artist of The Adventure Zone " Maelstrom instantly hooked me. It's story that's at turns funny, exciting and always heartfelt, about wresting with destiny and identity and finding your own way forward." --Peter Wartman, artist of the Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novels.
