Aster’s debut includes the fruitful elements of a riveting tale: lovable characters, thrilling heroics, and villainous fiends. With two companions-Engle, his comically brave best friend, and Melda, an intelligent, cunning girl-Tor embarks on an adventure charted in The Book of Cuentos, a collection of folklore based on the various enchanting, cruel inhabitants-Emblemite and beast alike-of Emblem Island. Now the young boy must travel across Emblem Island to confront the wicked Night Witch and reverse the curse. It’s the Night Witch’s mark, a black eye marked upon his skin. Alas, his wish backfires when he awakens the next day cursed with a shorter lifeline instead. New Year’s Eve has finally arrived on Emblem Island, and for 12-year-old Tor Luna, it means an opportunity to wish away the leadership emblem he so deeply loathes.Īmid the annual festivities, Tor casts his wish to the wish-gods in hopes of a new emblem-a marker on one’s skin-that will grant him the power to become a water-breather, forsaking the leadership path forged by his Chieftess mother.
