$19.99
A vibrant medieval graphic novel packed with jousting, fierce rivalries, found family, and queer representation as an aspiring young squire chases her dream of becoming the greatest knight in the realm.
Description
Every legendary knight starts somewhere.
For George, that somewhere is at the bottom.
Small, inexperienced, and determined beyond reason, George dreams of joining the kingdom’s dazzling league of tournament knights. In a world where jousting champions enjoy celebrity status, lucrative sponsorships, and roaring crowds, becoming a squire is the first step toward glory.
There’s just one problem.
No knight wants to take her on.
Serafina is already the greatest knight in the kingdom, but success has become routine. Fiercely talented yet stubbornly reserved, she’d rather perfect her swordplay than charm audiences like her glamorous rival, Aethelberg. The last thing she wants is an eager apprentice slowing her down.
Unfortunately for both of them, she doesn’t get a choice.
When Serafina’s wife and patron insists she mentor George, the unlikely pair are thrown together in a partnership filled with frustration, bruises, spectacular mishaps, and reluctant respect. George struggles to master even the basics, while Serafina discovers that teaching someone else may be the greatest challenge of her career.
As rivalries intensify and tournament season approaches, mentor and student must learn to trust one another if they’re going to stand any chance of making history.
Bursting with humor, heart, and spectacular action, Ladies of the Knight reimagines medieval adventure through a fresh, inclusive lens. Fiona Marchbank’s lively artwork brings a colorful world of knights, tournaments, and unforgettable characters to life while celebrating perseverance, teamwork, and the courage to follow impossible dreams.
Perfect for readers who love graphic novels, fantasy adventures, strong heroines, found family, and queer representation wrapped in an exciting coming-of-age story.
