As Lü Buwei's conspiracies against Ying Zheng unfold, Xin takes it upon himself to get even stronger in order to protect his friend. But will Xin be able to find someone within the kingdom of Qin who can help him face off against Lü Buwei when his enemy controls most of the kingdom already?

In a land where glamorous knights compete in showy tournaments for fame and fortune, George wants to be the best. Being small and untrained means no knight will give her a coveted spot as their squire, but George won't give up on her dreams so easily.

Serafina is the best knight around, no question. She's so good that she's getting bored and reckless in her jousts. It doesn't help that everyone is mesmerized by Aethelberg, her sparkling rival, who is much better at playing to the crowd, while Serafina would rather keep to herself and practice her swordplay. When Serafina's wife and patroness insists on her taking plucky George as a squire, Serafina suddenly finds herself in the position she never wanted--a mentor. Their partnership is going to be even harder than it looks, considering George can barely hold a sword without giving herself a black eye and Serafina is even pricklier than the lance she wields. But if either of them are going to take the league of knights by storm, they'll have to learn that neither of them can do it alone.

In her author-illustrator debut, step into Fiona Marchbank's (Fairest Of All: A Villains Graphic Novel, Of Her Own Design) colorful, medieval world for fans of Squire and Ella Enchanted and follow George on a quest to be the greatest knight in all the land . . .

Lucius's attack on the Clover Kingdom ramps up as he prepares to launch a catastrophic spell to take over the world. Asta and Yuno are standing in his way, but they'll need the help of their friends if they hope to overcome this ultimate challenge.
