Noelle Stevenson’s bestselling graphic novel, based on her popular and critically acclaimed webcomic. Kirkus says: "If you're going to read one graphic novel this year, make it this one."

Pirates! Dragons! Science! Symbolism! All these and even more await in this exemplary subversive, intensely subversive epic tale from Noelle Stevenson. It includes an exclusive epilogue that hasn’t appeared in the webcomic, along with bonus sketches and revised pages. This wonderful full-color graphic novel has been praised by critics and readers as the arrival of a "superstar" talent (NPR.org).

Nimona is an unpredictable young shapeshifter with a knack for mischief. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to cause some serious havoc.

Their mission: to 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 anarchy 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.
