"Will you tread the world and tend the wilds? When the world whispers her secrets, will you keep them? Will you protect the weak and face your own end without fear?”

Cyrus swallowed. “Yes,” he said.

“I will,” said Antigone.

And just like that, Cyrus and Antigone Smith are inducted into Ashtown, the American base of the Order of Brendan, an ancient society of extraordinary individuals and explorers and a super-max prison for the most dangerous villains in the world.

Only 24 hours ago, Cyrus and Antigone Smith were normal kids, helping their brother Daniel run the Archer Motel. But everything changed when Billy Bones, a strange man covered in tattoos, arrived at the Archer. Hours later, Billy Bones is dead, the Archer motel is on fire, Daniel is missing, and the Smiths are pursued by gunfire all the way to Ashtown.

All because of the Dragon's tooth that the illustrated man named Billy Bones had secretly given to Cyrus before his dying breath.

For now, Ashtown is their best shot to get their brother Daniel back.But if they have any chance of saving those they love and living to tell the tale, they’ll need to discover their inheritance and become nightmares to the world’s worst monsters.
