The Court Charade: A Graphic Novel
by Flore Vesco
From the New York Times bestselling illustrators of Beauty and Beautiful Darkness comes a fleet, tongue-in-cheek adult fairy tale graphic novel where love is found in the least likely places and nothing is quite what it seems . . . This lighthearted, sharply witty adult fairy tale is a delightful and quirky take on toxic workplaces, with a dash of Puss in Boots-style antics and a little romance thrown in for good measure. Serine is a poor but plucky daughter of a sickly nobleman who must make her way in the royal court to avoid being married off once her father dies. Although she is illiterate and owns only one dress, she manages to charm her way into the fickle queen's good graces--but the royal court is not a kind place for a country bumpkin. Silly, sweet Serine must smarten up if she wants to survive the queen's fits of pique, the court ladies' gossip, and the royal advisor's evil schemes. With nothing but her wits and the help of the friendly, handsome torturer's apprentice, can she find a way to save her job, save the kingdom, and find true love along the way? Or will she be forced to play the fool?

The Demon of Beausoleil
by Mari Costa
A humorous yet poignant queer romance in a fantasy-period setting. Just the thing for grown-up fans of Alice Oseman's Heartstopper, Kevin Panetta's Bloom, or Jarrett Melendez's Chef's Kiss who are intrigued by the occult. --Library Journal, starred review A half-demon socialite-turned-exorcist and his disgruntled bodyguard have no trouble facing down the hordes of darkness--but facing their feelings for each other? Well now, that's a whole different story . . . Helianthes is a Cambion--a child born touched by demons. Horned, clawed, and tailed, Helianthes--Hell for short--is a devil-may-care exorcist whose devil-may-care attitude has succeeded in alienating those closest to him--all save for his long-suffering bodyguard, Elias, who sees him as less a strange, mythical being and more just a . . . nuisance. Together, the two venture into the streets of this psuedo-remix of Victorian London to exorcise demons (and maybe cause a little mischief on the way). But as Hell becomes increasingly drawn to his enigmatic bodyguard--and as Elias becomes increasingly aware of his feelings for his trouble of a charge--the two find themselves faced with a growing, chaotic dark that might threaten everything they've been working toward . . . A world of half-demons and the boys who love them await in this epic queer romance by writer/artist Mari Costa
