Paris, France; the place where all your dreams come true. Thirty-one-year-old Nadia Alarie and her teenage son Maurice are forced to run away from a drunken husband and father, who wants nothing more than to kill his wealthy wife and take all her money. They arrive at a beautiful French mansion in the countryside...a refuge for foreigners escaping the terrible war. Among the runaways is a German princess named Isolde, who has a secret that could determine the future of thousands. But after a tragic mass murder committed by a sorceress with a mysterious past, Maurice and Isolde must leave France and hide from the very magic that destroyed the lives of their friends and family. And with the help of a seemingly normal girl named Emilia-Gabrielle and her best friend Justin, these two teens will do whatever it takes to save their world and live in a life of safety.
