Ian Wigby is about to find out that he is a very special boy.
Along the southern coast of England, atop the White Cliffs
of Dover, stands a castle. And at that castle’s old keep is
an orphanage. Delphi Keep has seen many youngsters come and
go through its gates, and Ian Wigby and his sister,
Theodosia, are happy to call it home. Life has always been
simple at the Keep, and the orphanage safe, until one day,
Ian and Theo find a silver treasure box. And within the box,
a prophesy. Three thousand years ago a great Greek oracle
wrote of a quest. A quest on which the fate of the world
depends. A quest that names two children—Ian and Theodosia.
Suddenly Delphi Keep is no longer safe. And Ian and Theo,
along with a very special group of friends, realize they
must unravel the meaning behind the scroll of Dover cavern
before darkness falls on the world. And before an
unfathomable evil catches up with them.
