I never wanted to be a Superhero. Spandex and bright colours were never my style. I was more of a black leather and bank robberies kind of guy. When I learned that I was one of the few that could do something beyond the ordinary, I had some choices laid out before me: become a small-time villain, pretend that everything was normal and live as a rogue, or join the Crawford Academy for the Supernaturally Talented. My name is William Cauthon, and this is the story of how I corrupted my fellow students and became the world's greatest supervillain. That is, after I figured out how to deal with dangerous opponents, deranged superheroes, overwhelming amounts of homework, and worst of all: girls.

A research expedition deep into the Himalayas discovered something so conspiratorial, so shocking, that it completely destroyed almost every scientific theory in history. Further investigations led to the discovery of a device able to recreate, or destroy history, the Pandora's Box of humankind: the ability to warp time. The very next day, the device was stolen. Humans should never play with time to begin with. It is something so ancient, so powerful, that it might be as old as the Universe itself. Possibly even more. When the thief in question has the power to do absolutely anything, to set the Universe back to the Big Bang, for example, no words could be used to describe the catastrophe that is about to ensue... However, just one boy is able to change that. Embarking on a perilous journey that involves both the government and the wrong side of the law chasing him, it would take a miracle for him to succeed. But miracles do happen - sometimes.

Prohibition hangs over New York like a nauseating smog. Most partygoers escape its presence by getting lost in speakeasies set up around corners of the streets, in basements, attics, etcetera. The more desperate—young or old, rich or poor—flock to the speakeasies run by demons. Their liquor holds more than just alcohol, it contains a dangerous power that causes the drinker to become lost within their own mind, living out their fantasies—if only for the night. Robert Hermann is part of a group of men that are supposed to bust these demonic "Dreamwhisps". However, after a fatal incident, he finds himself working for one of them. Now he must obey every order, every job that the powerful and charming Mr. Russell gives him. Failure to do so could lead him on a train to Hell; both physically and mentally.

In Hajinn, singing isn't just forbidden: it's well known that it drives people mad. When Rajheem, a boy who loves music above all else, is plucked from his lowly existence to become the personal minstrel to Raja Helen, Third Seat of Hajinn, he is overwhelmingly grateful. As a foreigner, she holds none of the Hajinni superstitions toward music. What Rajheem initially considers a stroke of luck begins to seem like part of a frightening plan. There are Fair Folk in Helen's palace, creatures who walk the line between the world of the living and the world of the dead. They steal children away from their homes in the night, never to be seen again. As the people of Hajinn grow increasingly uneasy with their ruler’s inability to rid them of this infestation, a rumor begins that the Fair Folk were sent from the country to the east. At the same time, Rajheem realizes his singing talents go far beyond the power to create music. He can freeze people in their tracks, invoke fear in the hearts of his enemies, and even bend the fabric of reality itself. This gift embroils Rajheem in Helen's plot to usurp rule of Hajinn. As Rajheem struggles to control his newfound abilities and discover the reason his people abhor music, Helen orchestrates her plans to veer Hajinn toward war with a country it has been at peace with for hundreds of years.
