Twelve-year-old master thief Aiden Trent has been trained by the best-his parents. It is rumored there is nothing they can't steal. So when an easy job in an old museum comes up, they take it. Trouble is, the goal is no ordinary prize.

In a flash of light, his parents disappear, leaving Aiden to uncover the secret behind the artifact while he flees from the man who hired them to steal it in the first place.

The problem is, the artifact has a mind of its own and carries him into far-flung adventure that not only challenges his training, but what he believes about himself, his parents and the world.

All of which won't matter if he can't survive the Enemy...
