The mark of the Star Son

Every few generations, a mage of great evil appears and wreaks havoc on the world. To defeat this evil, a Star Son is born, heralded by the unique star-shaped mark on his arm. This generation’s enemy is Broga, a mage so malevolent that, for the first time in history, two Star Sons are born in the same generation. Broga covets their power and will use any means to gain it – even murder.

As young children, Ethan and Jake Payne, the Star Sons of this era, are taken from England to America by their parents to protect them from Broga. The boys are soon orphaned and grow up with no magical training. Now teenagers, Ethan and Jake must find their own way back to the magical world and learn the magic they need to defeat Broga. Will they survive long enough to find help? Or will help, perhaps, find them?
