A young prince must learn to be his own kind of hero in this
stand-alone graphic novel from the acclaimed creator of the Estranged
duology. Perfect for fans of the Amulet series and The Witch Boy.
Young Prince Alto dreams of being a hero like his mother, the Lady
Brightblade. Her well-known legend was woven into stories by the magical
bard who fought by her side.
The kingdom may be at peace now, but Alto believes that the world still
needs heroes. He has been learning the bard's magic, and has grown
restless with royal life. Determined to have an adventure of his own,
Alto runs away from the palace.
On his journey, he finds himself making new friends and encountering new
and exciting magic. But when he discovers that there are dangers
threatening the kingdom, Alto realizes that he might not be able to
handle them alone--and making his mark as a hero is harder than the
stories made it seem.
