Despite being twins, Jack and Thomas Darren couldn't be more different. Jack has knowledge beyond his years, and his strength makes him respected by his classmates. Thomas, on the other hand, is shy, bookish, and often overlooked beside his more charismatic brother. When their mother dies in a robbery and their great uncle, Lord Hades, summons them, their lives are changed forever.
A mystical train carries them to the land of Somulus, where Lord Hades awaits. At his estate, Ravenstead, the twins discover they have transitioned to a different world-the magical realm of Mythil-which exists side by side with their own world. Lord Hades has chosen to reveal this secret, knowing that the twins share a special destiny.
As Jack and Thomas reach their coming of age in the magical land, both discover powers they never knew they possessed. But with their newfound strength come troubling dreams and visions of the past and the future. Somehow, Jack and Thomas are linked to the twin princes of ancient Mythil, Jaden and Abram, whose fateful story ended when Jaden attempted to plunge Mythil into everlasting darkness. As tensions build and destruction looms, are Jack and Thomas doomed to repeat history?
