Losing her mother to tragedy as a young child, Natali fled the safety of home into the arms of her aunt Selena, the mysterious guardian of a magical order waging a centuries-old war for survival in the mountains of Spain. Natali, now in her 20s, has followed in her aunt's footsteps, becoming a powerful but rebellious witch in her own right.

Returning to Seattle, she finds herself caught between a cruel modern world and the ancient evil threatening to destroy it.

1st printing. Story and art by Bree Paulsen. In a steampunk-inspired city fueled by electric magic and still recovering from a bloody war, Ada is concerned about her younger sister Safi's developing powers. She understands that Safi could learn how to control her magic under the apprenticeship of a king's magician. But with the memories of war still fresh, Ada is conflicted by this prospect-despite her knowing that she can't keep Safi safely at home with the threat of deadly, power-thieving liches prowling the kingdom. When a traveling group of magicians comes to the city to perform, they immediately recognize Safi's talents and offer to take her on as an apprentice. Safi is thrilled about her new adventure-even if that means leaving behind Ada and their sickly father. And Ada is right to worry about her sister, for there may be monsters hiding behind friendly faces... Softcover, 6-in.x 9-in., 224 pages, full color. Cover price $15.99.

Story and art by Laura Knetzger.

Have you ever been to a house with a Gem Room? Or a Bubble Room? Or a Yarn Room? No? Then come with Mia to her friend Pie's home, where everyone wears costumes, cacti grow up to the ceiling, and there's a hedge mage in the back yard! Critically acclaimed comics artist Laura Knetzger pens a sweetly inventive story for beginning readers that not only introduces the senses and basic sense words ("shiny," "soft," "fuzzy"), but also primes children for their first visits to friends' homes - and encourages them to appreciate the differences between their family and others.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Hidden World of the Yokai!" Story and art by Jem Yoshioka. At twelve years old, Maple Akimura's future has already been decided. With her mother insisting she become an apprentice at the family apothecary business, Maple sees a small life in her village ahead of her. Maple would rather spend her time with Kunio, her new friend visiting from Taisho City, than study her family's history. Her mother insists she reads the family book detailing the Akimuras' relationship to yokai (spirits and supernatural beings) over generations. To Maple, the stories of the yokai are just a remnant of traditional village living, amid 1920s Japan's rapidly advancing technology and the glamor of modern urban life-especially in bustling Taisho City. But Maple's encounter with a mischievous yokai named Ember sweeps the pair into the hidden spirit world, with only Maple's family stories to guide them. Now, they must navigate hidden dangers, strange creatures, and dark secrets to send Ember home and empower Maple to find her own path. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 240 pages, full color.
