"I didn't expect any of this. Not the car crash. Not being kicked out by my bipolar mom. And by far I didn't expect meeting you."
Allie had a fairly normal life. That is until her mom ships her off to California to live with her brother Tyler. After Allie meets Rebecca, Tyler's live in girlfriend, she witnesses several strange things but shakes them of as nothing special. Then she befriends on of her male classmates, Alec, who is extremely talented but a little odd. But after Tyler get's into a fatal car accident, that almost ended his life, she discovers San Francisco's secret.
Their families and pasts are linked, not by blood or by marriage. Whether they were destined to meet or not, they did. It was the year 1495 and the Scarlet Sweat plague had just wiped out the population of Aniatea. Conscripted by city states - who are fighting over the lost city of Venicia due to it's rumored power source - as mercenaries, Ohiel, Zese and Eian aren't always grateful that their pasts shaped them for this war they are being forced to fight - whether they want to or not. These three men find themselves bound together in a way that they never thought possible, both in the past and the future.
As each opportunity had slipped away, we learned to sacrifice our consciences for this sociopath's economy. As every minute escaped, a greedy mouth swallowed another placebo. The world had lost all love and bliss. And so we prostrated ourselves to billboards and worshiped technological madness. That is how we had traded our souls for an empire of greed. That is how we had made a prison for paradise.
Twelve-year-old Alyssa McCarthy can no longer stand the toughness of her uncle, and wants a better life. But one day she discovers not only the existence of magic, but also a villain hunting her down. The villain uses magic and magical technology to kidnap Alyssa to the Fiji Islands. As much as she wants to go home, she has to face some dangerous challenges first. Not only that, the villain himself must be defeated. Can Alyssa succeed, even with the help of her mentors?
