Every attack targets the same fragile resource: trust.With Zara, Tomas, Diego, Ella, Leif, Sigrid, and young leaders from around the world beside her, Maya must decide what leadership means when power itself becomes the weapon. Instead of tightening her grip, she chooses transparency, shared authority, and accountability-even when doing so puts her crown, her reputation, and her life at risk.The Crown You Carry is a full-color political-thriller graphic novel about courage, misinformation, youth leadership, and the difference between holding power and giving it away.
