In modern-day England, Nathan Bryn realizes he's different from the
rest. Even though his mother was a respected White witch, his father
belonged to the fearsome Black witches, which divides Nathan between
light and darkness. He doesn't integrate well with the White community
since they are suspicious of his differences. It doesn't help that his
father, Marcus, is the most powerful and cruel Black witch. Eventually,
the White witches decide that the only way to control Nathan is to lock
him up in a cage. He must escape before his 17th birthday, when he will
receive three gifts from his father and become a witch himself--or else
he will die. However, when he can trust no one, Nathan must determine
his own destiny.
