In the mystical realm of Maryland, the fabulous Charm City is abruptly awakened by a great power. A powerful nefarious evil has come to light and is determined to steal the Essence Scepter, and now wreaks havoc across the land. Even The Elementals, a council of elders who guard over Charm City from their vantage point atop Castle Dorchester, and the council of witches, will find it a challenge to face up to this threat as one of their own has turned against them. They have vowed to protect the land and its people from this great evil, which has set its sights on what they covet most. But into this mix come four college sophomores, known as The Descendants. They have what it takes to save the world from the impending apocalypse, each one gifted with special abilities and guided by the Oracle, and from one of them comes something that no-one was prepared for, The child out of time. The chosen one who was never meant to be. One who is stronger than them all and who has the power to wield the scepter. But who is the child out of time? Do they have what it takes to unite them? And who will reign supreme? Enter a world filled with dragons, giants, witches and Gods. Where a cunning and evil mastermind plots a path of revenge and betrayal.
