Description

This is the 2nd volume of 3 graphic novels collecting the hit original webcomic in print for the first time!
A world rising from the ashes of destruction. Human society thrives only through their complex alliance with the magical Satyr.
After a shocking graduation day full of surprises, Philo and Atlas arrive at the palace to begin their new lives.

Philo is quickly taken under the wing of the Arch Mage's flirtatious younger brother, Pallas, and is shown the ropes of daily royal life. Meanwhile Atlas begins his brutal apprenticeship and uncovers some unsettling truths about his future. All is not what it seems as shadowy figures continue to pull the strings behind the scenes...

Will Philo and Atlas be able to navigate this twisted web and find their way back to one another? And just why is the Arch Mage so interested in Philo...?

The second volume of Revel Guts' hit webcomic Sparks, now in print for the first time, is a coming-of-age queer romance that can't be missed by fans of LGBTQ+ fantasy and adventure.
