Extraordinary things just don’t happen to fourteen-year-old Sydelle Mirabil, a talented weaver who dreams about life outside of her tiny village. But that all changes when a mysterious young wizard named Wayland North appears and asks for Sydelle’s help. He’s got a shocking secret that could stop a war between kingdoms ― if he can reach the capital with the news in time. North needs a navigator who can mend his magical cloaks, and Sydelle is perfect for the job.
As Sydelle and North race against the clock to deliver their message, they must contend with unusually wild weather and a dark wizard who will do anything to stop them. But the sudden earthquakes and freak snowstorms may not be a coincidence. As Sydelle discovers more about North’s past and her own strange abilities, she realizes that the fate of the kingdom may rest in her fingertips.
From #1 New York Times best-selling author Alexandra Bracken comes a magical graphic novel with light romance about discovering your own power, perfect for fans of the Amulet series and Howl’s Moving Castle.
"Based on Bracken’s 2010 YA fantasy of the same name, this full-color graphic adaptation lowers its protagonists’ ages a bit for a middle-grade audience. Imbued with magic and romance, it holds true to fairy-tale tropes; those looking for a comfort read should heartily enjoy the journey to its happy ending. Seaton’s exciting and expressive illustrations keep their perspective squarely focused on the action.... A homespun fairy tale full of spells, secrets, and romance." — Kirkus Reviews
