She-Ra and the Princess of Power: Legend of the Fire Princess (Dreamworks: Graphic Novel)

Description

Even after everything that's happened, the world outside the Horde's walls is still a strange one to Adora. Each day she's learning more about her growing powers as She-Ra, including something new: the ability to heal corrupted runestones. Runestones are the magical source from which princesses like Frosta, Mermista, and Perfuma draw their power, but Glimmer knows of another runestone: one with a dark past. Long ago a fire princess ruled the lands to the west, until her thirst for power corrupted her, and led to the ruin of her kingdom. Glimmer thinks the lost fire runestone could give the Rebellion an edge in the fight against the Horde, but claiming this ancient power won't be easy...especially not when the Horde has their eyes set on the same prize.Don't miss this original graphic novel with story by She-Ra showrunner and New York Times best-selling author Noelle Stevenson, script by Gigi D.G., and art by Paulina Ganucheau!

Like its titular hero, She-Ra is so full of heart that it's easy to recognize its humanity, even with all the super-powered hijinks going on." -- Vox"She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is something special. The new Netflix series updates the '80s swordtech cartoon into a heroically right-now parable about empowered women teamworking against terror.
