A middle-grade graphic novel fantasy adventure filled with dark magic, druids, delicious desserts and dragons by award-winning author Carlos Sánchez!

With Dai missing, Chiri is desperately rallying her fellow adventurers on a quest to find him. But with the darkness creating a fearsome army of creatures and planning on total domination of the kingdom, finding her best friend is starting to feel impossible. With another dark herald hunting Chiri down, it’s going to take every drop of magic she can summon to protect the friends she has left – and find the one she’s lost.
Carlos Sánchez grew up, with a pencil in his hand, in Barcelona. When he was very young a comic fell into his hand and that changed his life forever. He studied Design in EINA, and a master in Creative Illustration in Bau. He loves to draw, read comics, eat cereal and play videogames. Nowadays, he works as a designer, illustrator and comic artist in Barcelona.

In 2025, his debut title, Rune: The Tale of a Thousand Faces, became the first graphic novel to win a Waterstones Children's Book Prize category award in the history of the prize.
