A place where everyone is judged not by their DNA, but their personality. This place is called Hybrid Island. Lachesis, the royal liar; said to dispense the thread of life and deal with the past. Klotho, the strong-willed fighter; said to create the thread of life and work with the present. Atropos, the stubborn scholar; said to cut the threat of life and manage the future. What happens when these three overlooked, underestimated and misunderstood strangers are thrown together? When their companions tell them about an island where they could finally be themselves, where they are needed, they fly there immediately. At first, it feels like home, but they start to notice a darkness lurking within their supposedly safe new home. Are they just paranoid, or is there truth behind their suspicions? Their long-time companions have been acting rather odd. Soon the three start to notice that their companions know more than they say. More than they aren't telling them.
