The Beast Within

In a world where turning sixteen means discovering your true nature, not everyone is ready to face what lies inside. Some see it as a blessing, others as a curse.

This comic tells the story of a boy who struggles with his identity as the day of transformation approaches. He wants to hold on to his family and his human life, but something wild is calling him. Torn between fear and curiosity, he runs, hides, and fights against what he cannot change.

Only when he stops resisting does he realize the truth: what he feared the most might be his greatest gift.
