I am thoroughly entranced and swimming in the world building. Here human women lay eggs, and the wolves change gender every moon cycle until on their 18th birthday. They set their gender with an egg from the humans. Intrigued yet? The Child of the wolf king wants to set as a girl, but her father needs her to set as a boy to take over ruling the kingdom. She set off with her boyfriend, a human, to make her own life, or to at least wait out her 18th birthday and make the choice for herself. Meanwhile in the land of humans, egg laying goes on, but if you do something against one of their laws, they kill you, then bring you back as a type of zombie called Immortui. They make great pack beasts, but die if they get to far from the swamp. This book was way too short. It just wet my whistle of a grand adventure. For some reason it gives me vibes of Jim Hensen with Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, but that could just be the enormous bugs everyone rides. I want more of this story, and I really want this turned into a cartoon that I can watch. It could be the Last Unicorn of this generation.

You have the Wolves who change gender every full moon but require human eggs (yes, human have eggs in this world) to permanently settle their gender. To keep the peace, the humans (a matriarchal society) sacrifice two eggs a month to the wolves so as to avoid war.
The current heir to the wolf throne, Petigre, wishes to settle as a female but the Wolves have never had a female leader before so her father forbids it.
After discovering that her father is planning to lock her up until her 18th birthday and force her to turn male Petigre and Rum run away.
In this world, there are also creatures called Immortui who are immortal humans who have been killed but buried in what I assume is a magic swamp, which basically turns them into zombie like beings. It is used as a punishment for crime.
There is magic and intrigue and politics and I can see a lot of potential with this story, characters and world building.

Two societies on the brink of war - the humans and the wolves. The human society is women-dominated and are forced to give the wolves 2 human eggs on each full moon to maintain a peace treaty. The wolves need these eggs because they change sex every full moon and use the human eggs to choose their sex and stay that way for the rest of their life.
I LOVED this graphic novel, the art style was SO GOOD, it had a diverse cast of characters, great storyline and I cannot wait to read the next one!
I think this is appropriate for teens to read, but make sure to check the trigger warnings. I highly recommend this, it was so good!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ebook.
The premise is an interesting one. We have two different groups seemingly in piece but the tensions are building, both in terms of the treaty and inside the groups themselves. I enjoyed the story set up in this first volume, possible overthrowing of power and wish for war on both sides, as well as internal conflicts in terms of runaway princess, and a queen that doesn’t seem to age.
The pace was wonderful, the wold seemed reasonably explained without too much of exposition.
I look forward to reading more.
