Fence Book One combines queer sports romance with the high stakes of an elite private school in the first of three young adult graphic novels from the acclaimed series!

Scrappy fencer Nicholas Cox has big dreams of following in the footsteps of the father he's never known. When he's accepted into the elite Kings Row private school, he finds himself in a world of cutthroat competition. Facing privileged rivals, gruelling tryouts, and the seemingly unbeatable Seiji Katayama, Nicholas discovers that it will take more than just determination to prove himself worthy of a place on the team.

Experience drama, romance, and tension in the breakout GLAAD-nominated comics penned by New York Times-bestselling author of Dark Prince, C.S. Pacat, and brought to life by fan-favourite artist Johanna the Mad! Collected for the first time in three beautifully packaged graphic novels!

Collects Fence #1-12.
