Nimona is an impulsive young shape-shifter with a knack for villainy. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Their mission: prove to the kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies at the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics aren't the heroes everyone thinks they are.
But as small acts of mischief escalate into a vicious battle, Lord Blackheart realizes that Nimona's powers are as murky and mysterious as her past. And her unpredictable wild side might be more dangerous than he is willing to admit.

-- "Rainbow Rowell, New York Times bestselling author"A nifty amalgam of fantasy and science fiction elements and relationships drawn with complexity, wit, and depth create a world worth returning to again and again.
-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"If you're going to read one graphic novel this year, make it this one.
-- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"A masterpiece of picaresque drama, the story, like Nimona herself, morphs unexpectedly from charming silliness through epic adventure into clever satire and finally to Godzilla-league horror.
