"Kuklo had spent his entire life in cages, feared and hated as "the Titan's son." Then he met Sharle Inocencio, a young girl who defied her father and brother to care for and educate the abused boy in secret--and plot his escape from the dungeon, and her escape from her betrothal. But the night they've dreamed of brings new horrors with it, and Kuklo becomes obsessed with proving that he is not the monster everyone has always assumed him to be. That means meeting a Titan for himself, in person...!"--Back cover.

The Survey Corps trains to use a new device meant to fight the Titans.

"Fifteen years ago, humanity led a last-ditch attempt to discover the Titans' weakness--a survey expedition to capture one of the beasts. But the ten-meter Titan who appeared during the capture attempt threw the expedition into chaos. Among those who escaped behind Wall Maria was the genius craftsman Angel, a weapon-developer who was participating in the expedition as a researcher. What would he conjure up from this failure?"--Back cover.

"Thanks to Xavi's infiltration of the dissidents' ranks, their attempted rebellion runs up against a harsh reality when the MP cracks down on them. Meanwhile, Kuklo uses his new Device to spring to Sharle's aid. But unbeknownst to him, his oldest nemesis will be waiting in the wings..."--Back cover.

"Sharle has taken matters into her own hands to recruit the reclusive Angel, the original inventor of the Device that might one day help humanity fight back against the Titans. But Angel's harrowing experiences have left him scarred, and he may need extra encouragement to rejoin the struggle. Meanwhile, Kuklo remains missing, his fate in the balance..."--Back cover.

"The Vertical Maneuvering Equipment, humanity's greatest weapon against the Titans, is designed at last, but there's a catch: Kuklo and the Survey Corps have only a short time to use it to successfully destroy a Titan, or the Corps will be disbanded for good. And even worse, an unlikely figure from Kuklo's past will be taking part ..."--Back cover.

Kuklo heads to Shiganshina District to test the new model of the Device, while Sharle anxiously awaits his return at Xenophon's workshop. But long after Kuklo's expected date of return, there is still no sign of him - Meanwhile, an anti-government group carries out a plan in the Industrial City, where Sharle works. Little do they know, Xavi has infiltrated the mission on orders from above.

"With Kuklo's fate unknown, Sharle has to take matters into her own hands by tracking down the reclusive Angel, inventor of the Device that could one day be the difference between survival or extinction at the hands of the Titans. But Angel is no longer the same man he once was, and the journey to reach him will be a perilous one, to say nothing of actually enlisting his help..."--Back cover.

"Xavi Inocencio, the man wo implicated Kuklo in Dario's murder (and who also happens to be Sharle's brother), has joined the Military Police on Captain Gloria's recommendation. This puts the royal government's most powerful tools at his disposal in his search for Kuklo and Sharle. Meanwhile, Kuklo leaves Sharle behind in the Industrial City, heading to Shiganshina District to try the temperamental and dangerous'device' against a real Titan..."--Back cover.

Humanity's hero Jorge Pikale, the first man ever to defeat a Titan, has just snatched Kuklo and Cardina from certain death outside the Walls. The "device" he uses to save their lives is the human race's only hope against the Titans. But it won't be easy. Fifteen years ago, just before the Survey Corps expedition that almost became their last, they discovered a secret about the Titans--one that Kuklo will need to know to fight them...
