Espada cover

From Spanish cartoonist Anabel Colazo (No Mires Atrás, Encuentros Cercanos) comes Espada, a tale of a young princess and her quest to carve out her own destiny amid a lineage of power.

There was a time when everyone had access to magic, until a dispute for power attracted a demon from another world who destroyed everything . . . or so legend has it. However, there is another very different apocryphal version, according to which a hero, carrying a sword, came to the Kingdom to guide and protect its people. But who was that hero, and what became of him? Why is the queen now the only person capable of using magic? Attracted by all these enigmas of the past, Ania, princess of the Kingdom and heir to the throne by imposition, will try to find out the truth of these magical fables—now that she has just found a mysterious sword.

“Readers are taken on a visually ambient journey as Ania is sent on a royal missive, which becomes a quest of self-discovery and sorting out the mystery of her kingdom’s origins… A vibrant graphic novel adventure that fans of ancient stories and their origins will enjoy.” * School Library Journal *
"This artistically rich work offers reflections on power and peace [...] A visually and narratively complex fantasy adventure."  * Kirkus Reviews *
