Eamon Temple is a wizard in a family of wizards and living in a city full of wizards. But when his son is born, it is clear that he is much more than just a wizard. The child is born of two pure lines, and yet there is something about the child that speaks to something ancient and even beyond what can be explained. But having such a child in their midst causes tensions and eventually, the boy and his family face dangers that will require all the cunning and magic the Temple family can muster. The fate of all could be in the hands of a small boy; a small boy with a big name and a big legacy.
