Currently, the world holds a dark truth. Mages secretly run the world while humans think that magic is just a fairytale. Darnell Samuels is ready for summer vacation when his mysterious aunt, who can make dark rain clouds appear at will, invites him to an island in the Philippines for two weeks. Little does he know that normal school life will be a thing of the past and storybook creatures will be a new dangerous reality. In an arena set up by mages with innocent lives at stake, Darnell is named the "Human Piece" and the rules are that only three pieces may survive in a competition featuring different magical beings. Darnell's only real hope to stay alive is by finding and making an alliance with the Fairy Piece, an even weaker creature than the human.
