The Forbidden Line

Synopsis

In Coco's village, everyone knows magic is something you are born with. Then she watches a witch draw a spell and learns the truth: magic is ink and line, and any steady hand can use it. That same night she traces a shape she does not understand, and her mother turns to stone. The witch who arrives too late gives her a choice, erasure or an apprentice's hat in his atelier, where four other students are each hiding a wound of their own.
