On Alex’s home planet, Max and Alex face their most formidable foe yet–Alex’s father! This hulking, misogynist barbarian king demands Cahl’s wings be removed so they can fit the royal ideal of masculinity. Can Max and Alex save Cahl before the king makes good on his campaign promise of “Kings, not wings”? Probably. Will they look fabulous while they do it? Absolutely.
