Kim is a dreamer who would much rather read his latest copy of Starfighters than worry about his math homework. When his parents inform him that his little sister has fallen into a mysterious coma, Kim is frustrated and heartbroken that he can't do anything to help her. A mysterious visitor from another world pulls Kim into the realm of the Magic Moon, where he must fly a spaceship, disguise himself as a knight, fight monsters and fantastical creatures, and journey ever-onward through the perilous forests and mountains, in order to unlock the secrets of the enchantment that keeps his sister locked in sleep.

Young Kino roams the world on the back of Hermes, her unusual, anthropomorphic motorcycle, only staying in each country for three days. Throughout their adventures, they find happiness and pain, decadence and violence, and beauty and wisdom --- all in a strange and beautiful world. The more Kino tries to escape from each country, her past, and her gruesome reality, the more she must question the people she meets, herself, and her own behavior. This eight-volume series, a critique on the inherent beauty of imperfection, oscillates between philosophical and winsome, while remaining consistently and overwhelmingly imaginative.

The dark and devastating 5111th Grendel Prophecy revealed that the queen would usher in the apocalypse by her sixteenth birthday. Consequently, the Kingdom of Linevan decreed that she be killed at birth in order to save the world at large. But despite all attempts to blight out her existence, the myth of the "Scrapped Princess" lingers on. Fifteen years have passed--and the Scrapped Princess, Pacifica Casull, is still alive and well. Now, entire kingdoms are after her head. Will she be the destroyer the prophecy claims...or are the gods mistaken?
