Raising twins deep in a protected wood sounds like an ideal task, but when the kids are dangerously magical and just learning how to control their abilities, life can get dicey. Michael Talbot prepares for a difficult trial as his wife Azile, the powerful Red Witch, is called away on urgent matters and he is left alone in charge of his challenging offspring. Fortunately, Uncle Mathieu, werewolf and Brew Master, arrives to help out.
It should have been a swell reunion for them, but conspiracy and war are upon them overnight and they become embroiled in diabolical machinations that no spell of protection can hide them from. Lycan, craven flesh-rending beasts and sworn enemies of Man, are once again preparing to enslave the remnants of Humanity, and dark, otherworldly sources are backing their claim to rule the land.
Entities created to extinguish Existence have been loosed from the netherworld, and the multiverse is balanced on a knife's edge. Suddenly, no one is safe, and the Talbot children become targets of inestimable worth. Will Azile's power and Mike's supernatural attributes be sufficient to protect them?
This is the opening salvo: if the Talbots manage to hold back the tide of evil, will Heaven and Hell crash upon them and wipe the slate clean?
