When four royal children (Rebekah, David, Evelyn, and James) are drawn into their predestined alliance by the death of a young man and the rediscovery of portals that were established and destroyed centuries ago, they begin to uncover the true history of their past and the developing plot of David's older brother Thomas. Each of them represent the realms from which they are destined to rule: Glendale, tucked away in the valley. Sylvain, concealed within the woods. Oceanus, deep below the sea. And Delmont, high in the mountains. What do all of these realms have in common? A secret. Buried long, long ago, after a war and many losses.
While their meeting wasn't any coincidence, it is what they all desperately needed. Evelyn is a genius who lacks empathy. Rebekah lost the love of her life, being the first casualty of the new war. James had never felt more alone then after his brother died. David spends his idle time dreaming of an escape. The death of Prince Will was an accident. That's what his fiancée-to-be, his little brother, his best friend, and the genius who helped kill him, all thought. It's what everyone thought. What the four failed to notice and will soon discover is that accessing these portals won't bring them the freedom they were hoping for. They are drawn together only to find the truth about their destiny. Using Will's magical sketchbook and the archways, they are able to discover the secrets of the past and the future.
