After learning of Arak's ability to affect the weather, a ruthless corporation attempts to kidnap the boy, and he and his sister escape through a portal back to Kwagl. By the time Darakin and Nora are able to follow, the arch mage has dispatched a group of warriors to capture and magic-bind the boy in order to use him to gain control over all of Kwagl's mages and warriors. Against their will, the family becomes caught up in the current arch mage's new underhanded politics that are threatening to plunge Kwagl into a world war.
