Lelek is a witch, Sanja is a peasant - but Sanja is pretty good with a sword, and when Lelek's powers aren't enough she kidnaps Sanja to make her teach her swordplay, but as they travel together (looking for Lelek's lost powers) the two become friends and partners.

Zaborsky's graphic novel is a good story about finding oneself, looking out for each other and accepting who you are. I feel like I could have used a lot more context, though, the pace was quick with lots of characters, I needed more background or connections.
