[edit] Plot Synopsis
Five orphans who have spent their lives living in a strict secretive British boarding school begin to discover that they are different from the other children that they so rarely see. As the story progresses, these five discover that the patrons of the school and their own guardians are not the English lords that they have claimed to be. Instead these adults represent strange powers from far removed locales. Their curiosity is further piqued when they learn that they themselves possess unique paranormal abilities.
The story largely concerns the main characters investigations and discoveries about an otherworldly power struggle, and their place within it.
