On a mythical island, Pygmalion brings legendary statues to life. Everything changes with the arrival of Aphrodite and Fitz, a young boy with the rare power to breathe life into his own sculptures. Pygmalion, reluctant at first, is forced to mentor Fitz and teach him how to control his gift. However, when Fitz disobeys and brings a bronze statue—Niña—to life, Pygmalion is furious. As Fitz adapts to the island, he makes new friends, including Niña, who claims her name as her own.
Despite missing his parents, Fitz immerses himself in this new life, while Pygmalion and the others desperately try to uncover the secret behind the boy's power. Facing trials and dark revelations, the island becomes a place where magic and friendship intertwine in this captivating adventure.
Urban mythology is more popular than ever, driven by the success of hit series like Percy Jackson.
