The Victors

Owl Books — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 09:05:52 +0000

From the author of Tiktok sensation The Quiet at the End of the World comes a graphic novel about what happens after you’ve saved the world.

“This witty, stylishly drawn enemies-to-friends YA graphic novel elegantly subverts the ‘chosen one’ trope” Guardian
“Funny and fantastical, with a generous helping of trauma!” Alice Oseman

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

Four years ago, Dirk Earnest 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.

For readers who love:
Forced proximity
Enemies to friends
Found family
Platonic soulmates
University AUs
… and quippy banter

The New York Times Bestseller

‘Blows your mind on every page’ Caitlin Moran

‘Should be mandatory reading for anyone who cares about the next generation’ Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Peggy Orenstein broke ground with her bestselling Girls & Sex, exploring young women’s right to pleasure and agency in sexual encounters. Now she turns her focus to boys with an examination of how young men are navigating sexual culture in these changing times – and what we need to do to help them. Drawing on comprehensive interviews with young men, psychologists and experts in the field, Boys & Sex dissects ‘locker room talk’; pornography as the new sex education; the role of empathy; boys’ understanding of hookup culture and consent; and their experience as both perpetrators and victims of sexual assault.

By presenting young men’s experience in all its complexity, Orenstein unravels the hidden truths, hard lessons and important realities of young male sexuality in today’s world. The result is a provocative and paradigm-shifting work that offers a much-needed vision of how boys can truly move forward as better men.
