by Roye Okupe, Sunkanmi Akinboye (Illustrator), Etubi Onuchyo (Illustrator), Toyin Ajetunmobi (Illustrator), Spoof Animation (Contribution by)

Overview

Malika, queen and commander of the fifteenth-century West-African empire Azzaz, has been flung into the year 2025.

After years of moving in the shadows, Malika is forced out of hiding by the Olon Jin—ancient sorcerers imprisoned for centuries because of their obsession with dark magic. In their sights is the Fire and Frost stone, a relic that holds the combined power of two legendary dragons. On her journey to Egypt to retrieve the stone, Malika uncovers a sinister plot that predates her own five-hundred-year-old legend as Warrior Queen and threatens to end humanity.

This Dark Horse edition will collect the YouNeek Studios editions of Malika: Fallen Queen Parts 1 and 2.
