The last thing the hyper-advanced Human Confederation expected to
encounter on Darius – a far distant and long lost colony world – was
actual magic, sorcerers and magicians and other inexplicable feats
that the most advanced technology could not duplicate. Determined to
discover the source of the mystery, the Confederation dispatched a
survey team to Darius and eventually discovered that the human
settlers had tapped into the Darius Machine, an inexplicable piece
of alien technology that granted supernatural powers to those
capable of calling upon its aid. The Darius Machine was accidentally
destroyed, seemingly rendering the former godlike humans powerless,
but leaving behind a number of children with strange and often
frightening powers of their own.
That was seventeen years ago.
Since then, the Darius Children have been raised on Clarke, an
isolated world where they can be studied as well as protected from
the remainder of the human race. Their powers appear simplistic and
yet very dangerous, provoking fear as well as awe in their teachers;
their attempts to expand their abilities, and bring others into
their mental network, threaten the very fabric of reality itself. As
they start to demand the right to leave their homeworld, a sociopath
strikes and kidnaps one of the Children, intending to sell her to
the highest bidder. Another Child must go in pursuit …
And hidden in the shadows, an unseen manipulator lays the seeds of a
galaxy-wide conflagration.
