Darkseid is and life on Apokolips is tough but then, it is hell after all. And no one knows this better than Barda, Granny Goodness s right hand warrior. But Barda has a secret she is in love. Or she is drawn to the idea of it anyway, whether it be the beauty of a flower, her affection for her closest friend, Aurelie, or the mysterious and fierce enemy warrior, Orion, who is the only match for Barda s strength. But when Granny decides Barda is becoming too soft, she assigns Barda a task that might be more than she can handle to break the seemingly unbreakable Scott Free. And as Barda questions why Scott has such hope and what he might have done to promote such hatred from Granny, she finds herself drawn to him in a way she never expected. The only thing is, we do not speak of love on Apokolips Join New York Times bestselling author-illustrator NGOZI UKAZU (Check, Please) as she takes readers on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, deep friendships, and first loves!
