Maverick, the YA imprint of Mad Cave Studios announced the May release of Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders, based on the 90s animated series.
Join Gwenevere, the princess of Avalon and wielder of the Sun Stone, and her friends, Fallon and Tamara, on a quest to keep Avalon safe as enchanted Jewel Riders. While the girls remain friends, things are not as they once were.
Gwenevere – once the leader of the Jewel Riders – has had to take a step back from her true passion, being a Jewel Rider and protecting Avalon from evil, in order to step into a new role as the future queen. Fallon, holder of the Moon Stone now leads the Pack–an elite group of Avalon’s protectors, a role once held by Gwen’s fiance. Tamara trains under Merlin to better harness the power of her Heart Stone, but wonders where she–and her powers–truly belong. When Merlin begins acting oddly, it’s a sign that evil Wild Magic has returned to the kingdom–and so has a foe the Jewel Riders thought they’d once vanquished.
With her kingdom, friends, and magic on the line, Gwenevere must choose between the life she loves and knows as a Jewel Rider and her newfound duties. Come join our circle of friends on an enchanted, new adventure for Young Adult readers!
Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders is written by Jordie Bellaire, with art by Koi Carreon. The OGN arrives on May 28, 2024.
