Fifteen years ago, five ordinary teenagers were singled out by a prophecy to take down the Dark One, an impossibly powerful entity wreaking havoc across North America.

After the Dark One fell, the world went back to normal…for everyone but them. When the unthinkable happens and one of the Chosen Ones dies, they realize the Dark One’s goal was much larger than they had previously thought.
