Seven Seas Entertainment has announced, through its Ghost Ship imprint aimed at older male readers, the license acquisition of the Mature-rated manga series Led by Stars by Abi. When a deadly threat known as the “Goblin Queen” begins to roam the land and snatch women up, one former adventurer must pick up his sword once more and try to protect his home and the woman he cares for most! A sexy action-fantasy manga featuring bodacious demons and deadly babes.

In the quiet town of Elwood, on the edge of the Great Dungeon of Dagonalia, former adventurer Arc works alongside Lily as a guild receptionist. But one day, a mysterious threat known only as the “Goblin Queen” appears, wiping out anything and everything that crosses her path while stealing women away. With danger looming over them, Arc must decide if he will take up his sword once more and embark on a deadly journey to protect the town—and most importantly, Lily. To Arc’s surprise, Lily has been hiding something from Arc that could change everything between them!
