Jacq is the daughter of giant hunters.
Corman is a young giant on his first trip above ground.
Two stories, two lives and two worlds collide.
Jacq Dyer is the daughter of renowned giant hunters and is soon to follow in their footsteps. Everyone knows that giants are violent, senseless creatures … aren't they?
But when an accident leaves Jacq lost and injured in the wilderness, she comes face-to-face with Corman, a young giant. As they uncover the truth about each other's worlds, they find that not all tall tales are true - and that it's up to them to set things right.
