- October 26, 2022
In the land of Lymeria, time threatens to reveal the throne’s dark secrets. We are pleased to announce our young adult title, In The Shadow of the Throne, a new fantasy adventure from Maverick, is now available!
In the Shadow of the Throne takes readers along with Jordan to a mystical land, where anything is possible! Join writer Kate Sheridan (Flash Gordon, Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake) and artist Gaia Cardinali (Disney Mulan’s Adventure Journal: The Palace of Secrets) on Jordan’s epic fantasy adventure, where he learns about himself, his trust, and the true value of family.
Writer: Kate Sheridan – Artist: Gaia Cardinali – Letterer: Micah Myers – Editor: Michael Moccio
Synopsis: When his younger siblings and parents begin to irritate him on vacation, Jordan tries to get some space. But instead of wandering around the museum, he finds himself dropped in a fantasy world of magic where he can finally have some fun and train to become a knight. Except Prince Astel and Sir Griffith are about to uncover a sinister secret kept hidden by the Queen that’ll thrust Jordan in the middle of a magical battle he never could have anticipated.

“As a queer kid who had dreamed of running away to a fantasy world and finding drama, danger, magic, and romance, In the Shadow of the Throne has a special place in my heart! I wanted to tell the kind of story that I wanted when I was that age, and I hope it resonates with teens today. I’m truly blown away by how Gaia has brought our story to life, and so grateful to her, Mike, and the Mad Cave team for making this book with me and giving it a home.”

“In the Shadow of the Throne is a graphic novel I would have dreamed of reading when I was a teenager and now I can say I was part of the team that created it. I loved drawing Astiel and Jordan and loved seeing them grow. I grew as well thanks to their adventure. It has been wonderful getting to walk with them in that world full of hope and magic. A big thank you to Kate, Mike and the Mad Cave team who made all of this possible.”
