Have you been chosen to determine your own life?
Are you still waiting for your Hogwarts letter? Are you dreaming about the force being with you, if only you could stumble across a light sabre? Do you secretly hope that a spider bites you, a vampire, anything? In Pear’s and Balthazar’s world, magic powers are a birthright or fate. At least, that’s what they believe. Because when Balthazar suddenly belongs to the magic shapers, the two of them get caught in the middle. In the power game of those with or without a gift, their friendship is put to the test. They increasingly fight on opposing sides in the question of what it really means to be “chosen”. Can their friendship survive?
