Ten. That's how many titans that lived on Fortusfaysa. Born of the mysterious island, they are the gifted protectors of their home. Each with their own place, they guide the inhabitants with equal hand and mercy.
Centuries of a peaceful pact with the kingdom Mydrimia have been forgotten when the titans disappear. The royal family travels to Fortusfaysa to uncover why the great titans have abandoned them.
Among the traveling family is Noelle, the forgotten daughter. One of the several sons and daughters of the Mydrimian royal family, she is expected to be as strong and powerful as her other siblings but her powers were always small. After the death of her grandmother, her minimal abilities left her altogether. She survives on the edge, in the gray where no one can see her but she's been drawn out.
Left with nothing but her growing confusion, a leopard, and an owl, she has two choices: discover what happened to the titans and convinced them to save her and her family or lay down and let the island tear her life from her soul.
