Synopsis

Ten Ten is the only child of King Wu and Lady Mina—leaders of the kingdom of Fusan. Growing up, Ten Ten never felt quite like a girl or a boy. The other children of the kingdom make fun of her. When she is caught practicing Tiandao, a martial art only permitted for boys, the king’s villainous adviser, sees an opportunity to send her away and extract wealth for himself by burning Fusan’s black rocks. This pollutes Fusan’s skies. While in exile with her grandmother, Ten Ten finds the courage to be herself and returns home to raise her voice, challenge her adversaries, and save the skies in this empowering tale.
