This autumn, Avery Hill Publishing unveils two captivating graphic novels that explore resilience, mystery, and the bonds that shape us. Donya Todd’s The Witch’s Egg and Karenza Sparks’ The Corus Wave both release in October 2025, offering readers two very different but equally imaginative journeys through richly drawn worlds.
The Witch’s Egg
By Donya Todd
180 pages, full-color paperback
Releases October 10, 2025
Witches and angels aren’t supposed to have children. But when Urfi, a conjuring cat-witch, defies cosmic rules by falling in love with an angel, she sets in motion a story of survival and magic. Fleeing violence while carrying the egg of her unborn children, Urfi finds refuge in the faery forest and begins raising her daughters in secrecy.
As her children—Isobel, Batzel, and Mazel—come of age, the past comes crashing back. The same forces that hunted their mother now threaten them, and they must rely on magic, sisterhood, and inherited strength to survive.
Told through lush visuals and poetic narration, The Witch’s Egg is a dark fairytale about motherhood, generational trauma, and the unbreakable power of love.
The Corus Wave
By Karenza Sparks
144 pages, black and white paperback
Releases October 21, 2025
All Lorelei wants is to finish her thesis. But when her research into a Devonian-era fossil uncovers clues left by eccentric 19th-century polymath Havius Corus, she’s swept into an academic mystery that could change the way we see the universe.
Together with her roommate Eddie and their cat Raisin—who accompanies them across England via backpack—Lorelei follows a trail through libraries, churches, botanical gardens, and ancient stone circles. What she finds may be more than just a dissertation topic—it may be a key to long-hidden truths encoded in the fossil record.
Playful, smart, and steeped in curiosity, The Corus Wave is a lively caper about science, secrets, and finding wonder in the unexpected.
Avery Hill Publishing continues its tradition of showcasing bold voices and genre-bending storytelling. Whether you’re drawn to the haunting magic of The Witch’s Egg or the curious adventure of The Corus Wave, these graphic novels promise a memorable reading experience this fall.
Stay tuned for more updates as their release dates approach.
