The course of true love never did run straight… For fans of The Owl House and Critical Role comes the first volume in the lighthearted and epic adventure SideQuested!

Magic makes the world go round, but no one in Charlie Goldskin’s world knows precisely where magic comes from. This isn’t Charlie’s problem. She’s the adopted daughter of a woodcarver and is training to be a librarian. It’ll be a quiet life, but that’s fine with Charlie, as magic is summoned through conflict and she would like to avoid that, thank you very much!

Then her birth father shows up to take her from her village and bring her to the king’s court.

Prince Leopold is gifted in the noble arts of diplomacy and combat, but he’s never met anyone like Charlie. Falling in love with her wouldn’t be an issue, except he’s already engaged, and his fiancée is the daughter of a very powerful evil witch. Charlie, panicking, decides to break the news to Princess Robin... but then she finds love at first sight, too. To resolve this love triangle, the teens are sent on a quest to discover the source of magic! So much for Charlie’s plans for a quiet life...

About the Author

K.B. Spangler lives in North Carolina with her husband and two completely awful dogs. They live in the decaying house of a dead poet. She is the author of numerous comics, novels, and short stories. All projects include themes of privacy, politics, technology and infrastructure, civil liberties, the human experience, and how the lines between these blur like the absolute dickens.

Artist and author Ale Presser is a very tired Brazilian mom who lives in Portugal with her husband and son. She has been working in print and online comics since the 1990s. In 2020, she earned her Doctorate in Design, and has since turned her thesis into a resources guide for how to develop and publish webtoons, which won Brazil’s Troféu HQ Mix for Best Doctoral Thesis in 2020. She started working with K.B. in 2019 as the artist for the webcomic "A Girl and Her Fed", and since then, their working arrangement evolved into a full partnership. They have been working on many projects, "Side Quested" being the most ambitious. According to K.B., Ale is a Border Collie that has to be working all the time or she will start chewing the couch.
