Miyuli's Morgana And Oz, a YA fantasy romance adventure that pits witch against vampire, published on the Webtoon digital streaming publisher and distributor, with 1.2 million subscribers and almost 50 million reads on Webtoon's North American English platform alone.

"What happens when a struggling witch meets an angsty vampire? Either love or war. Morgana belongs to a long line of witches, and Oz to the rival vampire clan. After a chance encounter… and maybe a few stray spells… these two need to find a way to work together, or risk all-out war between coven and clan."

And now Webtoon Unscrolled, the graphic novel imprint at Wattpad Webtoon Book Group, and courtesy of its Executive Editor Bobbie Chase has acquired world rights to publish Miyuli's Morgana And Oz with a first book scheduled for August 2024. Miyuli represented themselves in this 2-book deal.
