||UMBRELLA ACADEMY x THE PRINCES IN THE TOWER|| In 2023, eighteen-year-old Grisha is upset over missing his admission to a prestigious Art Academy. Worse, he's drafted to fight in an unjust war he hates. In a fit of rage, Grisha rips his second-hand text-book and hurls it at his hardliner father. He fervently wishes he could fix Russia's violent history just like that. To erase the shadow of Ivan the Terrible, as it looms larger and larger over Grisha's world, driving him to the brink of self-destruction. In response, the world crumbles around Grisha until all that is left of him is his soul, which travels through time to find Besson in the year 1591. Also eighteen, Besson is a suspect in the killing of a child Prince-Ivan the Terrible's son -- when his only desire is to paint icons in a quiet monastery. Together, Grisha and Besson hunt for a mythical assassin through time and the answers to two crucial questions. Who killed the boy-prince? And who else do you need to kill, so there is always peace.
