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 and find a hiding place in the wind. This world has a “nun” like society called the Communion of Blue. These are the ladies who spin the blue that make the tapestries, that keep track of all the ruling families. 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. Grayson loves life in the communion, and knows that they are Grayce, not Grayson. The Twins hatch a plan with help of another cousin, who is a member of the communion, to take back their land, their, thrown, and to let the world know that Reyden was NOT a traitor. 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 new classic, and a staple of children’s collections for a long time to come. ( ) This was amazing. The story was sweet, and as concise as it was, I didn't feel like it needed anything more. That being said, sequels would also be lovely. The coming out of Grayce as trans was at the same time poignant and inspiring; I am so HAPPY that her cousin didn't need more than a moment to wrap his head around it and embrace her for who she was all along. Nobody seemed to have any difficulty acknowledging Grayce, actually, and it was very refreshing. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Desperation and chance lead them to the Communion of Blue, an order of magical women who spin the threads of reality to their will. 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. While Hawke wants to return to his old life, Grayce struggles to keep the threads of her new life from unraveling, and realizes she wants to stay in the one place that will allow her to finally live as a girl."--Provided by publisher.
