Hollow Magic is a highly anticipated young adult fantasy graphic novel from creator Mars Lauderbaugh (illustrator of the Cemetery Boys cover) about found family, magic, and the power of deciding for yourself who you truly are.
Raised in the world of fey, seventeen-year-old Rosefinch has the ability to lift curses with nothing but a twist of her fingers. But when a witch's magic is left long enough in the fey realm, it becomes supercharged, painful to use, and potentially even dangerous.
Following a rumor that the village of Harp is home to a witch who might be able to help control her magic, Rosefinch discovers an ancient ruined castle with the inhabitants long gone; the only remaining soul a knight cursed to stand a frozen guard at the entrance. The magic she uses to free them melts more than just the ice, and soon, Rosefinch is falling for this charming stranger. But Thierry has secrets of their own, as do other members of the Harp family still hidden within the castle walls. The Harp witch's wicked magic ripped this family apart for a reason, and Rosefinch must find a way to stop the curse or she'll lose Thierry--and the chance to learn the truth about her magic--forever.
With mesmerizing art and a sweeping queer romance, this spellbinding fairy tale shows the power of found family and love where we least expect it.
