Randolph and Gregory Shinar are adorable, healthy, normal five year olds. Except... They speak in a private language no one else can understand. They share a psychic bond, one twin completing the thoughts—and actions—of the other. And they have power. Power to hurt. Power to kill. Power to open the gate between our world and Hell. And summon the devil. They are...Babel's Children.
