The paperback will also include a sketchbook section and cover art gallery.
Elspeth is dead. But her story is not yet over.
The sun god Heliod, having grown envious of his champion, struck her down to the underworld. There, she is forced to relive the worst moments of her life for all eternity. But Elspeth does not submit to despair—she emerges from each conflict a greater hero than before. And for a great hero like Elspeth, what is death but another challenge to overcome?
MAGIC: THE GATHERING: Untold Stories—Elspeth (112 pages, 6.625” x 10.1875”, paperback) releases in bookstore on June 16 and in comic shops on June 17, 2026. It is now available to pre-order from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $19.99.
