Intrigued? Take a look inside:
Titan Manga describes Witch of Thistle Castle thus:
Spirits and magic are everywhere in the streets of Edinburgh – if only you dare to see it!
Dive into this heartfelt manga about a witch and her apprentice as they try to find their place in a world that hates their very existence.
The last in a long line of Witches of the Black Wood, Marie Blackwood lives a quiet life in Edinburgh – away from the scrutiny of the Church.
But when the Church thrusts 13-year-old Theo into her hands for safekeeping, Marie suddenly gains the responsibility not just of taking care of a teenager – but protecting the world and Theo himself, from the amazing power that lives inside of him.
Volume 1 of Witch of Thistle Castle goes on sale September 5. Pre-orders are now open on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and in the UK and Europe via Forbidden Planet.
