Princess Alya tires of the long ride in the royal coach. Her aunt, who rides along in the carriage, keeps her entertained. But Alya's boredom vanishes when ruffians force the horses to stop.
Trill lives on a farm, and spends her days caring for goats. As Market Day nears, her mother worries. But Trill insists on taking the herd to town alone. It's a long walk, and the roads aren't entirely safe.
So begins this endearing children's graphic novel about two young girls. One is rich, the other is poor. And then, there are the goats.

WRITTEN/ART/COVER BY KATE WHEELER
Destinies collide when a village goat herder meets the palace princess in Goat Magic!
Trill,
a spirited goat herder with a unique ability to communicate with her
flock, yearns for a life beyond mountain pastures. Her “goat magic”
feels common compared to the sorcery taught in the city’s prestigious
magic schools, which are off-limits to her. Meanwhile, Princess Alya,
known as the “Ordinary Princess” and heir to the kingdom of Capeya,
doubts her own royal potential.
Their
worlds collide when an assassination attempt on the queen leaves Alya
cursed to transform into a black goat each sunrise. Seeking refuge in
Trill's goat herd, Alya discovers her new friend's hidden talent is her
only hope to break the spell. Together, they embark on a perilous
journey back to the castle, facing treacherous foes and uncovering a web
of betrayal and rebellion.
As
Alya battles to reclaim her throne and restore order to Capeya, the
girls discover a deep connection, their shared experiences forging an
unbreakable bond. When Alya comes face to face with the ones who
betrayed her, will she have what it takes to take back the crown and
rule an unstable kingdom? Will Trill find confidence in her magic and
the growing affection she has for her friend?
With fast-paced action, enchanting magic, and a budding romance, Goat Magic is a captivating graphic novel perfect for fans of fantasy adventure.
