Lol it is a peak weeb moment (also a non-Romance language so less judgment maybe).

I'm glad the comic resonated. Thank you for reading. 🌻

Because my brain clean forgot the word "caffeine," I asked my partner if the coffee just brewed is "ADHD coffee or not."

Sitlali has always dreamed of having a second shape like EVERYONE else. Maybe a bear, a dolphin—even a slug. Any animal is fine as long as she’s not a single-shape.

Then she finally does shift.

And her second shape is the one fated to end shapeshifting for all humanity.

Foretold to steal humanity’s shapeshifting, Sitlali is doomed to a dark destiny.

Fabled to be the first human to shapeshift, the Na’wal is rumored to change fates.

With the Emperor’s fanged army after her, Sitlali must seek out the very being she’s meant to destroy.

What's worse than having no second shape?

Having the WRONG second shape.

And Sitlali is the walking apocalypse. Prophesized to steal humanity’s shapeshifting powers, Sitlali must decide if she’s to be her people’s destroyer or their unlikely savior.

In a Mesoamerican society of shapeshifters, Sitlali is prophesized to steal shapeshifting away from humanity. With the Emperor’s fanged army after her—helmed by her own sister—Sitlali must decide how far she’ll go to change her destiny.
