Synopsis: Discover the origin of the sweeping, star-crossed romance between the queen of Pixie Hollow and the lord of the Winter Woods in this manga adaptation of the bestselling novel. Clarion may be the future queen of Pixie Hollow, but she knows she still has a lot to learn. For starters, she doesn’t know anything about what happens in the Winter Woods, a part of her world no warm-season fairy has ventured into for centuries. That is… until reports of a monster crossing from Winter into Spring begin to emerge. Clarion sees defeating this threat as an opportunity to prove that she is worthy of her new role. But instead of a monster, Clarion finds Milori, the Winter Woods’ young guardian. As they join forces to save their realms, an unexpected bond grows between them. But the cost of their love could turn out to be just as dangerous as the nightmare monsters that plague Pixie Hollow.
All of the titles listed above were released on the 5th May 2026 with an SRP of £9.99, and can now be purchased both online and in store at retailers such as Forbidden Planet and HMV. Panini is also expected to be at MCM Comic Con in London later this month, where they usually have a 3-for-2 promotion on all books.
