A giant heart beats in a little chest, or so the riddle starts. Iski Flare is commissioned by a king to find his lost sons. Instead he finds a heartless giant and a prince with a quest. Armed with a new sword and a map he isn’t confident in, Iski joins the prince on his adventure. The only clues they have to follow are wrapped in a riddle that hides more than it tells.
