The series
At a glance.
When twin witches Dani and Dorian Wytte miss the bus to magic school, a plan to hide it from their parents spirals into prophecies, feuding magical families and a kingdom sliding towards war. Across three full-colour volumes the story deepens: the twins are branded traitors, one of them may be the prophesied King of Witches, allies vanish, and a five-year peace is threatened by loss and betrayal before a hopeful, romance-touched finale. Adapted from Míriam Bonastre Tur's WEBTOON comic, the series pairs expressive, manga-influenced art with a warm, funny voice and a cast of misfits who feel instantly like friends.

The King of Witches
A continuous three-volume story: twin witches caught in a prophecy, a kingdom at war, and a hopeful, hard-won peace.
Volume 1 opens as comedy, with Dani and Dorian scrambling to hide that they missed magic school, before an ancient prophecy about the King of Witches sweeps them into a feud between magical and non-magical families. Volume 2 raises the stakes considerably — one twin may be the prophesied king, allies go missing, and war, betrayal and the death of a parent cut deep. Volume 3, the darkest and most romantic volume, jumps three years into an anti-magic rule and reunites the friends for a final mission to break a curse and end the war for good. The trilogy keeps its warmth and humour throughout, but its stakes and grief grow with its now young-adult cast.
