Life on Primevalon is thrown into chaos as a renegade deity attempts to appease her overwrought conscience. All attention is now drawn toward the queen and her newborn twins, Mantis and Marcus. Superstitions force the twins to be raised separately, and their father's throne is taken through a vicious betrayal. Mantis and Marcus now find themselves hunted across the countryside and besieged by malformed creatures at every turn, one totally unaware of his birthright; neither, their heritage. Mysterious and magical beings roam the world again as the old powers swell. The twins will have to learn friend from foe quickly if they are to survive and learn of their new powers. But if they aren't careful, their festering desire for vengeance will threaten the fate of the entire world and the very lives of those they love the most.
