Evony is an orphaned princess from a kingdom destroyed by a power-hungry witch. Prince Ammon has recently been drawn to her, or at least he’s drawn to her uncanny ability to sense when familiars—servants to the witches—are approaching his kingdom’s borders. And Evony, well Evony has always longed for something more with Ammon. Wanting to prove himself to his kingdom and parents, Ammon takes Evony outside the borders to fight the familiars head-to-head. All is well until they’re captured by witch Aradia, who steals Ammon’s heart and leaves his body to turn into one of her familiars. What’s worse, his sister Nissa has been taken hostage by Aradia’s daughter. Evony makes it her miss onto retrieve Ammon’s heart and save Nissa, taking her into the mysterious Witchlands. There, she will discover a secret about her past that will change everything.

My Review:
This is only me second graphic novel and I have to say, I am hooked! These are so beautiful! The graphic novel script was so interesting for Heartless Prince. I just kept turning the pages to find out what was next.
The illustrations are amazing. So beautiful! De Vito is certainly talented!
This read was such a treat! Reminding me of when I used to read comic books as a young reader. If you have young readers that are struggling with reading or being interested in reading, I think graphic novels would be a great opportunity to instill the love of reading in a different way.
For adults, graphic novels can be a great way to celebrate stories in a different format. I hope everyone considers checking some out. There is such a great variety.
Heartless Prince has a fabulous hardcover as well. It’s a truly beautiful piece of work.
Thank you so much to #rockstarbooktours for introducing me to this beautiful book, author and illustrator!
