Oliver has lost his mother and father to tenebris. He is caring for his younger sister, Bernie, who also has the disease.
When Oliver receives an old, sacred book, he and Bernie must travel to a distant, dangerous city. Slygoe, the Truthminder chief, seeks to destroy the children and keep the book to gain immense power and wealth. A spider who quotes Plato, a girl with Albinism, and a strange little wizard with a secret in his attic, offer friendship and help. Will their help be enough for Oliver to evade Slygoe? Can he unravel the cure in time to save Bernie and the world from darkness?
