His sister Emma, a fantastic dancer, has the world's worst case of stage fright. That changes when she begins to grow a pair of wings, and the people of a strange new world begin to think she's a hero of prophecy...
In a realm created by ancient gods...
Ages ago, in a realm called Astros, thousands of ancient gods fought a battle that left five standing. One tried to enslave humanity. The other four created races of warriors, inspired by the human form, to protect us. When the gods mysteriously disappeared, they left their warrior-children behind to form societies of men and women with powers greatly exceeding our own.Milo and Emma discover they are more than human. But with their newfound powers comes a responsibility more dangerous than they ever imagined, because an evil force is coming to Astros that will test everything the twins are made of, and radically alter the fates of two worlds.
