Lena has a massive secret: she is a giant who is only five and a half feet tall. To survive in her giant village, she uses magic to grow to a normal, towering height, terrified that her own people will reject her if they discover the truth. Her only solace is the Cursed City, where her friends accept her exactly as she is. Meanwhile, Jin is a young genie trapped in a thousand-year training program, forced to grant wishes for whoever holds his magical ring. Unfortunately, his current master is the power-hungry Golden King. The King uses one of his final wishes to send Jin to the Cursed City to capture its protector, the Last Knight, who happens to be one of Lena's closest friends. As Jin and Lena's paths collide, they uncover the Golden King's dark, world-ending plans involving terrifying Faceless knights. Now, a tiny giant and a reluctant genie must team up to stop a magical catastrophe. This clever, twisted fairy tale is packed with humor, high-stakes adventure, and unforgettable characters.
