Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders are back!
Mad Cave Studios and 41 Entertainment are pleased to announce Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders Vol 2, publishing August 19, 2025. This is the coveted second volume in Maverick’s updated YA take on the classic 90s animated hit, encouraging the magic of female friendship and perfect for fans of fantasy adventures!
For fans of Sailor Moon and nostalgic magical girl stories, Princess Gwenevere & the Jewel Riders volume 2 picks up where the previous volume left off: Avalon is in peril and the evil Lady Kale has returned. Only through the power of magic and friendship can Gwen, Fallon, and Tamara save Avalon and restore order to their beloved kingdom.
When we last saw Gwen and her friends Fallon and Tamara, they had successfully defeated Lady Kale–or so they thought. With Merlin gone, strange things and wild magic outbreaks have begun occurring about the kingdom. Is Kale still among them? Gwen and her friends must dig deep to find the power within each of them to defeat a new enemy and restore balance to the magic of Avalon. But their friendship is tested in new ways as their responsibilities continue to shift and change.
“I learned a lot working on the first volume,” said artist Koi Carreon. I’m happy that I get to show my improvement and all that I’ve learned for the second one. The whole team did their best for the book, I hope everyone likes it!”
