While the life of two English twins, Anne and Sarah, goes on peacefully, taking them from childhood to the end of adolescence, the novel plunges us into a background full of magic, traditions and real instructions. Nature will be not only the frame, but an active part in the story. Lunar and sun cycles will find their original meanings again; we are going to learn to work with herbs, to interpret Celtic Oghams, Tarots, we are going to understand the powers of stones, of colors and especially of our minds. A perfect mix of 21st century modernity and the wish to wake up and embrace the power, the symbols and the tools that the Universe puts at our disposal.
