Earth's major cities are in ruins. The Gigants—massive, terrifying creatures—appeared without warning and proved immune to every weapon the world's militaries could bring to bear. Then a boy named Ichiya Amakaze did the impossible: he destroyed a Gigant using a strange, poorly understood power called the Yorigami. The victory was real, but it cost everything. Ichiya lost control of his power and leveled the very city he was trying to protect. Unconscious and dangerous, he was taken into custody, and the true scope of his gift—and its terrible price—has only begun to reveal itself.
