Estic is a world filled to the brim with magic. Much life on it absorbed the mana within and manifested it into extraordinary abilities. The people who were given these called them "Knacks"-a humble name for such grand power. Everyone on Estic is an owner of a Knack, be it able to open any lock to having the strength of 50 men. Everyone... but Kloa. On a large and long mountain range bordering the far Western edge of the country of Lonjeta lies a small village hidden high in the mountains. In it, a young girl named Kloa walks a lonely path. Set apart from the other villagers for her lack of a Knack, she is thought of as a curse, a blight, a terrible omen to their world. Not even her own parents wanted her. In her village, many generations have lived there for tens of hundreds of years. They are blessed with the Fond of the Fay, promising them eternal protection, blessings, and longevity for as long as they remain on the mountains. When a mysterious tragedy strikes and her village is wiped out, Kloa is left alone, once more, to be the first in centuries to descend down the mountains. What awaits her is more than she ever dreamed: a power of her own, and experiences she quickly gains, both good and bad, as she discovers more of her mystical world that she was sundered from-and the ancient secrets of her forefathers.
