Forest Holmes just turned seventeen years old. He wears black leather and loves his motor bike. He doesn't believe in the crystals and amulets his mother wastes her money on, nor in stories demons and djinn. But the arrival of strangers in the small town of Chopin's Leap changes that, because Forrest Holmes has a heritage to claim. If he doesn't it could lead, not just to the town's destruction, but to the destruction of EVERYTHING.
