Time’s shadow dulls even the greatest legends, but when an Elemental child arrives at his door, an old King rises to face his final destiny. Chara—abandoned by her godlike mother—is a fragile gem with onyx skin and a heart of diamond. Swearing to keep her safe, and with brutal hammer in hand, the King and child set off on an incredible journey, the consequences of which will forever change the face of Earth.
For one man, love is a riddle hidden behind a veil of delusions and reality; a self-medicating psychiatrist, a bitter misogynist called frank, and Sean, the talking blue tiger.

This is Glasgow, and this is not a love story.
