The one thing that Jace could use more of in his life is love. But his parents, who treat him as though he doesn't belong anywhere, seem to have other things on their mind. So when the opportunity for a big adventure falls into his lap, Jace and his friends can hardly wait to get started. Unfortunately, when they set out, he and his friends don't realize what they've gotten themselves into until it's too late to turn back... Now caught in the middle of the forces, they can't go back to their normal lives. They'll have to find the Power before the Shadow does, but what they don't know is that there is someone who will stop at nothing to get to this Power first.
