The Witch Boy

This graphic novel follows Aster, a young boy in a magical community where girls are expected to become witches and boys are trained as shapeshifters, but Aster feels drawn to witchcraft instead of shapeshifting.

When dark magic threatens his community, Aster must embrace his witch abilities to save his family and friends.
