Synopsis
England's Royal Sorcerer is searching for children with magical abilities in 1726. Tempest is caught and brought to Kensington Palace, where Thomas, another child with the same mysterious gift, is also being held. Their confinement begins to unlock both their powers and memories they had lost. Those memories reveal that their connection reaches beyond England. Tempest and Thomas are missing royalty from Fairyland, and a dangerous curse binds their past to their present. As the fairies come after them, recovering the truth becomes a question of survival. This opening historical fantasy brings the royal court into conflict with a hidden fairy world.
