The Key of Eden, buried deep at the very bottom of the sea, is said to be the key to solving death. With it, unnecessary death and disease could be wiped off the face of the planet. However, it is guarded by an unfathomable beast that cannot be killed by normal means. With the entire world focused on wiping out death, it has essentially become an arms race to not only kill the beast, but to be the first one to do it.
Micah Lynch, a widowed father, is the current leader of a group of terrorists known as "The Dan." Using them, he plans to snatch the Key of Eden himself so that the Long War on the surface can end. Yet, no one believes in him; not even his childhood friend or his daughter. Yet, he might be the only one who can save the world.

Titans
Here are a few things you should know before you get started reading there are six titans with contracts and one without a contract and four children and one teenager and one of them of the seven (counting the teenager) is the "key" and there is one titan that is wanting the "key" if he gets his hands on him the world is doomed. Miclor is one of the titans that was supposed to watch over the children until the other six make their contract with them but he accidentally makes a contract with Alex one of the seven. Moniky, Miclor's older brother made a forced contract with Terra (the teenager). After Alex's mother died he went on a search to find the killer along with Miclor and the other titans. Miclor and the other titans are animals (can change into animals too, but you have to figure it out yourself and they do have clothes). Miclor was watching seven other children before them but they were killed but two a boy and a girl but he gave his sister the boy because he thought she could help him and kept the girl with him so he could watch over her and as she grew up and had Alex along with Terra (not blood-related). Terra disappeared and was forced to have a contract with Moniky. Now you have to start reading but the first part might be confusing when I put it on here and if it is tell me. I got rid of three people so these Titans won't have a contract Anos, Gaean, LionComplete
