Graphic novels

Secrets hide behind every corner of the castle walls in Suitor Armor, an exciting Webtoon romantasy graphic novel that follows lady-in-waiting Lucia as she tries to obscure both her identity and a budding romance.

Secrets hide behind every corner of the castle walls in the first volume of an exciting Webtoon romantasy graphic novel that follows the budding romance between a lady-in-waiting and an enchanted suit of armor.

While humans and fairies are at war beyond the castle walls, Lucia's life is dedicated to helping prepare Lady Kirsi for her upcoming wedding to King Reimund.

Lucia's time at court takes a dazzling turn when she accompanies Lady Kirsi to a royal tournament that calls together all of the kingdom's brave knights for a competition of strength and wit. A magically animated suit of armor, brought to life by Norrix the court mage's complicated enchantment spell, enters the ring and challenges the winning knight. Lucia is immediately attracted to the armor's dark, mysterious charm and lovingly names him Modeus. Bonded by their mutual status as outcasts within the kingdom, the two begin to develop an unlikely yet thrilling connection and sparks (both metaphorical and magical) fly.

The truth is, Lucia is hiding a dangerous secret about her own identity. She is the enemy- a fairy. She fears being exposed to the whole human kingdom, but she desperately desires to learn more about herself--especially with the arrival of a winged visitor who has infiltrated the castle walls for reasons still unknown...

Complete with original behind-the-scenes content and a bonus storyline exclusive to the book, this first volume includes episodes 1-17 of the greatly successful Webtoon webcomic Suitor Armor and sets the stage for a grand adventure in magic, romance, mystery, fantasy creatures, friendship, self-discovery, and more!
