About The Shapes We Take - A Shapeshifter Fantasy Adventure
Journey into a world of magical animals as a young shapeshifter finds his identity, uncovers secret truths about his past, and enters an ancient fight for his people's right to belong. Jacques, a twelve-year-old orphan boy, has accepted how painfully normal his life is shaping up to be. He hadn't thought about his missing parents in years-until the day he started transforming into animals. Now, he yearns to express himself by being as many animals as possible, and when he journeys to the magical realm of Dreamcrest, he happily begins doing just that. But when truths emerge about his birth, alongside dark tidings of a zealous empire who threaten to destroy all shapeshifters, Jacques must decide: should he stay home and stay safe, or venture into the unknown and fight? Jacques and his new friends, a fireball-flinging girl and a joyful little owl, mount their own investigation into his parents and the deadly space-faring empire that his father ran from. And the further in they get, the more dangerous things become-but a little danger might just be worth it, if it means standing up for who they are.
