Nicholas and Jaq are ordinary boys, living ordinary lives in medieval England. At least until the day they find the orb. Soon, they find themselves granted magic beyond anything most people could imagine. The only question is what they will do with it. For Nicholas, power is a way to help people. For Jaq, it is a way to be free of his controlling family. When they meet the girl of their dreams, neither can back down. Soon, though, the two find themselves facing a far bigger threat, and they must change the world, or watch it destroyed.
