One thousand years ago, all magic was erased from the world, sealed away by a great evil with the help of Pandora. As the only surviving race, the humans were given help from four of the thirteen gods, taking the natural elements of the earth, alongside their own power, and forming the eight arcane, protectors of Arcadia. In the present, civilization is entering its Industrial Revolution, but with the changes in the world come changes in its structure. Can Byron Phoenix prevent his family from being left behind in an ever-evolving world, or will he and his comatose father be usurped? His answer lies in a strange boy, one who possesses powers Byron had never seen or heard of before.
