For the Selects, life is far from there once-normal world. They have a terminal disease, and the only way to cure it is by bringing seven magical objects together. The only problem is, the objects are masterfully hidden, and the Selects face enemies at every corner. Forced into this impossible mission by their failing health, they quickly realize that they may not be the only ones searching for the objects.
I found this book to be a little confusing; some points are not completely clarified. There was so much information that needed to be explained, and I thought that the explanations were a bit rushed. This book was quite a bit like the 1st Percy Jackson movie (though not much like the book) because both of the main characters start out living a normal life and everything changes, both are pushed into different environments and to survive must find magical objects.
