From the author of Tiktok sensation The Quiet at the End of the World comes a graphic novel about what happens after the chosen one has saved the world.

The prophecy foretold they would be enemies … it didn’t mention they’d be flatmates.

Four years ago, Dirk Earnest might have defeated the Demon Overlord and his horde. Now he’s just a normal university student. (Or trying to be.) Dirk has many adoring fans who follow his every move in person and online, but he’s also crushingly lonely. Cue his new flatmate, Medusa de la Tempête: art student, former evil minion, war criminal … and Dirk’s nemesis. Either the two of them will kill each other, or they're going to discover what it really means to live.
