"With beauty as its tool and mischief in mind, this book is a winner all the way."
- Publishers Weekly
Lono’s life as a princess consisted of sitting, reading, and dreaming—until the day Pira, princess of a neighboring kingdom,
arrived with news of a waking nightmare! With the help of Pira’s best friend—a fire spirit in the form of a dog named Yonder—the
princesses now find themselves in a race against evil. The goal: Spera, a magical realm of which the princesses had only ever heard the tallest tales.
The prize: their very lives!
Written, created, and edited by Josh Tierney, Spera Volume 1 is the first book in an ongoing series of graphic novels

Hwei, Emily Carroll and Olivier Pichard.
The second half is a collection of short comics illustrated by Jordyn F. Bochon,
Cécile Brun, Luke Pearson, Leela Wagner and Matt Marblo.
The book features cover art and character designs by Afu Chan.
