After a terrible political coup usurps their noble house, Hawke and Grayson flee to stay alive and assume new identities, Hanna and Grayce.

As the twins learn more about the Communion, and themselves, they begin to hatch a plan to avenge their family and retake their royal home.

4.5⭐WOW! I hate I waited so long to read this book. This is a high fantasy graphic novel. Hawke and Grayson are twins. They are grandchildren to the ruler of their land, and cousin to Reyden, who is next in line for the thrown. On the night of the blessing, a rarely seen militant cousin Mirelle, invades and kills grandfather and Reyden. The boys run & find a hiding place in the wind. This world has a “nun” like society called the Communion of Blue

Each year after the night of the blessing, they take in new initiatives, and that is where the boys hid, as initiatives, as girls of the communion. The thing is, for Grayson, it is not hiding.

That Mirelle, was not only a traitor, but that she had help from a member of the communion. This was a fantastic book. Not just for the fantasy elements, and adventure, but for the story of Grayce‘s transition, and how easy and accepted it was. There is everything to love about this book. It is sure to go into history and become and 2y

the first Graphic novel on this list. If the art on the inside is as good as the cover, this should be a gorgeous book. Here's hoping the story matches.
