Events are moving as planned, but whose plan? If man plans and gods laugh, which god finds it amusing? What happens when one god's plan differs from the other's?
Lord Uriel plans to destroy the gods and protect his vampiric children. The Light plans to win a wager and return the world to normal. The Dark plans to ruin everything The Light wishes to achieve. All three plans are supported by centuries of work.
But the world continues to spin and the humans continue with their lives, unaware there are some who have roles to play. The magical children are all influenced by the gods. All are important pieces on the game board. And all are consumed by their own lives, unaware of the parts they play.
Beatrice and Alessia attempt to saddle the leaderless Islander Nation, but a nation that traditionally opposes mages will not be subdued so easily. Eska and Edrea blindly chase their dreams. Even with all their sight, they do not see those they step on in pursuit of their goals. Kero and Kira, born to fight, born to lead, but they are ignorant of the power games being played behind their backs.
All have one thing in common: the world they live in. There will be magic and manipulation, fire and fighting, and above all, blood and betrayal.
