BLURB
Kidnapped suddenly from their simple human lives, one by one, ten kids are dropped off at the mystical, off-the-map Castle Feiye, where they meet their ill-tempered, irritable trainers and guardians, the Atsal.
Learning their entire existence was simply to fulfill the Prophecy of the Twelve, destined to dethrone their tyrant ruler, the Grand King, and retake the empire of Tysiea, they now have an ever-shrinking time slot until their preparation is cut short. Raids and catastrophes spur them on faster, but the Twelve have to grapple with the fact that they may not be enough to battle the growing darkness at every corner.
Training the days away as the stakes get higher, the truth finally begins to settle in. The risks they must take to beat the Grand King. The difficulties the future holds for them. The death they must witness.
It's up to them to put a stop to it all, even as they can't help but worry they might not be enough.
After all, this was the man who had killed or banished all the Gods from the mortal world forever.
How could a bunch of kids do anything about it if their own deities couldn't?
