When 11-year-old Jason Adrian is sent to Cap Ravenwyng, a place offering a free summer stay to kids with creativity and imagination, he has no idea how it will change his life. For Camp Ravenwyng is built on the borders of a land that is a battleground between the Ravenwyngers, otherwise known as the Magickers, and their ancient enemies, the Dark Hand of Brennard. And the only hope the Magickers have of winning is to recruit talented youngsters like Jason and his fellow campers and teach them to master their magical powers before the Hand attacks.
