"The town of Wayward sits on top of a mirror realm of demons who feed on emotions—the bigger, the better. Thankfully, Guardians and BFFs Ryan and Owen have the power to fight them. But starting middle school brings changes neither of the demon hunters expected, and now they must face an even bigger challenge than any demon: growing apart." Liza writes on Tumblr, "I haven't been able to make a lot of new art because dun dun dun, I've been toiling away at a brand new graphic novel featuring these two cuties!!!
It's a story about the messiness of friendship, puberty and demon hunting! While its still a bit a ways out from release, i can't WAIT to share it with everyone!!"
