Join Shuri—scientist, warrior, princess—on a quest to save Wakanda in this all-new adventure.

For centuries, the Heart Shaped Herb has contributed to the prosperity of Wakanda. Its juices have given Black Panther his powers. Even T’Challa’s younger sister Shuri, a skilled martial artist, genius, and master of science and technology, has benefited from this mythical herb that only grows in Wakanda. But now the plants are no longer growing, and supply is running short. Will Shuri be able to save the herb—and her home?
