A runaway boy. A school for specially chosen teen warriors. A quest to save humanity.

Benny, fifteen, is solitary by circumstance more than choice: he counts each move to a new town as “a life.” He’s on Life Number Seven. His last! He plans to run away from his paranoid mother, who’s been on the run since the disappearance of his father when he was three. Benny has no memory of it, except for weird dreams of a firestorm and a hideous red-eyed dragon. After a fight with his mother, Benny packs his bags. Boom! The house explodes, catapulting Benny into a world he never imagined existed. The trail leads him to a gated Neoclassical building in the woods and to six teens he vaguely remembers: Kami is deaf, Amir is blind, Zuma is quirky, Layla doubts her abilities, Chaz is in a wheelchair, and Raj is as angry as the purple dagger-shaped birthmark running down the side of her face. These unlikely heroes share a common thread: Benny lost his father and they lost their mothers on the same day. The only clue to the mystery is Benny’s grandfather, Domenico H. Adez, a mysterious and dangerous man.

Can this unique group of teens find answers? More importantly, can they save the world?

This mythological fantasy creates epic worlds, filled with enchanting creatures and astonishing dangers. Sandra Woffington is a USA Today bestselling author.
