Two kids: Luna Malcolm and Flare Myers. One lives in Australia, and one lives in England. They both have perfect lives, lots of friends, happy families and lots of money. When the world around them begins to fall apart, they don't notice...that is, they don't notice until their worlds begin to fall apart. Death takes good people away from them and their money burns until they have almost nothing.

Little does Luna know that the stars in the sky, the little lights surrounding the one thing her Mother and Father named her after, were pushing her toward her destiny. What she doesn't know is that her destiny is the one thing she is afraid of...the sun.

Flare has always had everything, but he wasn't spoiled. He appreciated the things he was given in life. The one thing he is afraid of is the night, mainly the light the moon brought to the world. It was ominous and mysterious. If he can't figure something out instantly, he avoids it, which is why he hates when the night comes. Little does he know that the ball of light he worships during the day is pushing him toward his enemy: the moon.
