Soon after Nicholas' thirteenth birthday, his great-uncle John
reveals to him a secret -- handed down through hundreds of years to
the 'chosen one' in every second generation. John is very old. His
house has long since fallen into disrepair, and as Nicholas begins
to learn about the fifth key and the pledge, John falls ill. Facing
these new challenges and helping to repair John's house, Nicholas
begins to discover his maturing strengths. The unexpected
appearance of Jake, the traveller whom Nicholas has barely known as
his much older brother, heralds a sequence of events that could
never have been predicted, and a bond grows between the brothers
that evolves beyond the struggles of their ancestors and of Jake's
early life.
