YA
Illustrated by
Cassandra Diaz.
In this graphic novel, Seifer Tombchewer is abducted and forced to impersonate Prince Talon of the Darkling Realm and navigate Talon's relationships, both the close and the contentious. Witty banter and slapstick make this as much a romp as it is a dark fantasy. Diaz's illustrations use depth effectively to show the magnitude of the realm and thus Seifer's new responsibility.
