Author: Tasia M. S.,Barbara Perez Marquez

In a kingdom where dance is forbidden, a future high priestess must bend the rules to stop an ancient evil from destroying everything and everyone she loves, including the crown prince, in this sweeping romantasy graphic novel.

Eighteen-year-old Myra has spent her entire life training to replace her grandmother as High Priestess. But with the day of her ascension rapidly approaching, she's not sure if she's meant for this path. How can she become the herald of the god Alrun when he forbids the thing she loves most: dancing?

Her kingdom can't afford her hesitation though. Not only is the emperor looking for Alrun's wisdom ahead of a peace treaty, but forces of darkness are seeping through the barrier between worlds. The only source of light Myra has is her childhood best friend, the crown prince. Without his support and...love, she may not be able to stop what's coming.

To save her people, Myra must delve into her kingdom's forgotten history, even if it means defying the laws of the land. But the key to salvation may just require her to make the biggest sacrifice of all.
