If you could shape-shift into anything you wanted, how would you shape your life? For Sumi, adrift and alone since her grandmother died, the answer is obvious. When she discovers that the magic of the Shapewalkers may have run in her family, she knows she wants to use it to help people. But even magic isn't a simple answer to all of life's problems, and in a kingdom like Berill, magic might invite new ones. The continent of Wellonai is full of ancient kingdoms with deep ties to magic. But Berill is an upstart, gobbling up territory as they force modernity on their friends and enemies alike. While many have forgotten magic as trains and electricity went in, there are still those in the Berillai government who work to keep magic out of their kingdom, and there is no bigger threat to their vision of the world than Shapewalkers.In the spirit of fantasies like Howl's Moving Castle and The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, enter a heartfelt tale with joy and beauty at its center.

In Creatures of the Continent, the second book of the Shapewalker’s Song series, Sumi is on the run with Erso, looking for a safe place to hide as she learns more about her powers. Only months ago, she was just a simple shopkeeper, and now she has a centuries old magic to contend with. Erso isn’t new to being on the run, but for the first time, he’s taken a student with him on the road. They head first to Amoriai, where Erso’s family lives, but find an unstable city where alliances are shifting quickly. Detective Parimu isn’t far behind, desperate to capture the Shapewalker who escaped him. As Sumi explores the other kingdoms of Wellonai, she’ll be forced to face the difficult and bloody history of the Continent that she never knew. Can she change this world, or should she just find her place in it? As kingdoms and beliefs collide, there may be more at stake than which country she calls home.
