Lesbians in Space
In this queer space adventure, our main character Pan has grown up alongside her best friend Tara, a princess who is soon to be married off to the winner of the interplanetary jousting game that’s about to take place in their town. Tara can’t stand the thought of accepting her fate and allowing herself to become “claimed”. So, with Pan’s help, she escapes. A few years later, two strangers appear at the door of Pan’s family home, injured and needing medical attention. When Pan discovers that these two women are undercover Cosmoknights who win tournaments and help the princesses escape the patriarchal system they’re being forced into, our main character realizes that this is her chance to get off her planet, discover what the world has to offer outside of her father’s mechanic shop, and maybe… find her best friend again.

`A gorgeous and timely space adventure saga... Every panel hums and crackles with glowingly lush, well-realized worldbuilding. The dynamic action sequences, which merge tech and renaissance tropes, seem to leap off the page. But as lovely as Templer’s art is, it’s her political commentary that shines brightest... a dazzling vision of radical direct action—with rocket boots.` — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

`Templer’s exploration of this neo-medieval world is gorgeous... Fun, yet still deeply political.` — Samantha Puc, The Beat

`Pan’s journey to recognizing her own worth and identity as a feminist is earnest and believable... readers will enjoy the ride.` — Kirkus Reviews

`Queer romance, friendship, and wild mech battles against the patriarchy? I’m not sure what more you’d need.` — Barnes & Noble SF (Best of the Month)

`A fast-paced, beautifully drawn, feminist space romp with a diverse cast of characters. The artwork, all purples, pinks, oranges and blues, really does a wonderful job making Pan’s world come alive. This story will resonate with anyone who has ever dreamed of exploring and changing the world—as well as those who just enjoy a gripping, action packed adventure story with queer folk in space... richly drawn, unique, and captivating.` — Megan Baird, YALSA

`Always entertaining and engaging from the first page, readers will be wowed by the colorful and eye-popping Cosmoknights... the sci-fi story and the incredible visuals are combined into one remarkable reading experience.` — Villain Media
