In a pirate-soaked fantasy world of tropical islands, voodoo magic, and ancient gods, colossal Titans have risen to ravage the land, and a monstrous Kraken under the sea goddess Mara's command sinks any ship that dares the ocean, leaving the last remnants of the Inquisition besieged in the fortress of Caldera. A former Inquisition agent is sent undercover among the pirates to uncover a rumored weapon capable of killing the Titans and their beasts.
