Enclasia, a land brimming with mystery and wonder, suffers under the despotic regime of Lord Hepnyn. Those who oppose him are either killed as traitors or forced into exile. Jacob Kreshnu and his wife, along with their daughter Cristi and twin sons, Thymian and Rosh, are such exiles. But Thymian and Rosh bear a destiny greater than Hepnyn can imagine. Prophecy tells of the Founders; half-gods, half-men, who will one day return to Enclasia in the form of twin brothers born of house Kreshnu. Their coming would signal the dawn of a new age of freedom for the people of Enclasia, if it were true. The fate of a nation, and the destiny of one family of remarkable people, hangs in the balance
