Dark Horse Comics announced The Carlyle School for Kings, a new fantasy adventure mini-series from Nelson Greaves and David Castelluccio.
Emmelene Heron is the daughter of traitors, but even she cannot be denied entrance to the Carlyle School for Kings. For thousands of years, the academy has opened its doors to the best and brightest youth in the Kingdom. There, they are trained in matters of heart, strength, and mind, and the one deemed most exceptional will be crowned king for the next 30 years when the King Cycle repeats. This decree was enacted by Godwit himself to ensure the King is young enough that hope and idealism still thrive within them—but if they want hope and idealism, they invited the wrong girl.
“Carlyle was born from the trauma I experienced as a country boy at a cut-throat Ivy League university,” said writer Nelson Greaves. “The culture encouraged us to win by any means necessary, and it wasn’t a Monday if you weren’t getting torn down, mocked and stabbed in the back. Unlike Emme, no one actually tried to kill me, and there wasn’t a giant living under my dining hall, but school still felt like a fight for my life, and I wanted to tell a story for anyone who’d felt that way, too.”
The Carlyle School for Kings #1 (of 4) kicks off on October 30, 2024, with a cover price of $3.99.
