![]() ![]() With only his village’s terrifying, ancient stories as a guide, and his two friends Engle and Melda by his side, Tor must travel across unpredictable Emblem Island, filled with wicked creatures he only knows through myths, in a race against his dwindling lifeline.

The next morning Tor wakes up to discover a new marking on his skin…the symbol of a curse that has shortened his lifeline, giving him only a week before an untimely death. So, on the annual New Year’s Eve celebration, where Emblemites throw their wishes into a bonfire in the hopes of having them granted, Tor wishes for a different power. But he hates his mark and is determined to choose a different path for himself. ![]() Twelve-year-old Tor Luna was born with a leadership emblem, just like his mother. ![]() Their lifelines show the course of their life and an emblem dictates how they will spend it.
