A stunningly illustrated young adult fantasy with rivalry, risk, and romance—a dual-POV coming-of-age tale about two inventive teens whose bold idea drags them into an unimaginable conspiracy.

150 illustrations in black/white and color bring to life an immersive world. 

Ruji’s a science geek. Zugg’s a designer. As classmates (and more?), the mismatched duo discovers a breakthrough in healing that promises to unite rival nations. But their noble plans spark a bitter rivalry, propelling them into a web of secrets that could take down their families, their futures—and maybe, the world. To uncover the truth, they must risk their lives for the one they least trust: each other.

Told from dual points of view, The Shape of Change is an illustrated coming-of-age fantasy about the risks we’ll take—and rules we’ll break—to save all we love. Plunge into a mind-bending world weaving ecology, justice, and the human heart. Wildly inventive yet frightfully real, this subversive tale asks what matters, who belongs … and who decides. 

Perfect for fans of sci-fi, cli-fi, and romantasy—or anyone who dares to shape the future.
