Mad Cave Studios’ YA imprint Maverick announced writer Kate Sheridan and artist Gaia Cardinali are teaming for In the Shadow of the Throne.
When his younger siblings and parents begin to irritate him on vacation, Jordan tries to get some space. But instead of wandering around the museum, he finds himself dropped in a fantasy world of magic where he can finally have some fun and train to become a knight. Except Prince Astel and Sir Griffith are about to uncover a sinister secret kept hidden by the Queen that’ll thrust Jordan in the middle of a magical battle he never could have anticipated.
Jordan Rivera needs some time to destress while on a family vacation. When he wanders off in a museum looking for just that, he finds himself much farther away from his group than he planned to be. In the Shadow of the Throne will take readers to a foreign land along with Jordan where anything is possible.
“As a queer kid who had dreamed of running away to a fantasy world and finding drama, danger, magic, and romance, In the Shadow of the Throne has a special place in my heart!” said writer, Kate Sheridan in a press release from Mad Cave Studios. “I wanted to tell the kind of story that I wanted when I was that age, and I hope it resonates with teens today. I’m truly blown away by how Gaia has brought our story to life, and so grateful to her, Mike, and the Mad Cave team for making this book with me and giving it a home.”
In the Shadow of the Throne arrives in August 2022.
