Wynd seems like a regular boy in the fantastical world of Esseriel, except he’s got a magical secret. Now he’s set off on a journey with his best friend and the boy of his dreams to discover the magic in the world around him and, most importantly, within himself. YOU CAN’T FIND YOUR HOME UNTIL YOU FIND YOURSELF. Wynd lives a quiet life in Pipetown -- working at the local tavern, out of sight in the secret rooms beneath the floorboards, often stealing away to catch glimpses of the son of the castle’s groundskeeper as he works. But Wynd also has a secret… magical blood betrayed by his pointed ears, forbidden within the city limits. His shaggy hair has obscured them for most of his life, but now that Wynd is a teenager they are growing too unwieldy to hide. Joined by his best friend Oakley and Thorn, the groundskeeper’s son, Wynd’s strange dreams and an encounter with the city guard send him on the most dangerous adventure he could imagine, where Wynd will discover the magic in the world around him and, most importantly, the magic within himself. The GLAAD Award-winning team of writer James Tynion IV (Batman, The Woods) and artist Michael Dialynas (The Woods) present a new young adult fantasy series about learning to spread your wings no matter the dangers that life puts in your way.

This book is heavy. Death and threats around every corner and a displaced people on the run. Hide or die. Such a great story though and I can't wait to see where it goes.
This was such a great graphic novel! Wynd takes place in a fantasy world where magic is banned, including magical type beings. Wynd is one of those beings so hides his pointed ears while working at his adopted mother's restaurant. When someone comes to town that can sniff out magic, his mother tries to get him out of town before he's found.
Wynd was just a great character who, like any young person, was just trying to be himself. I loved how queer it was and his attraction for another young man was just normal and accepted. All the other characters were well written and mostly likeable and the art worked perfectly with the tone of the story.
I highly recommend checking out this series and I will likely read this again :)
