Twin brother and sister, pirates and magic. Peter and Silver have only had each other. With being born on the eve of the Arachnid outbreak, the same disease that took their mother and father, Peter and Silver are the only family they have. They live on a ship with their motley crew of outcasts with Silver as the captain and Peter as first mate. Both were born with strange gifts: Silver can speak to animals and Peter can see briefly into the future. These are gifts they have kept secret, even from their crew, for magic is not something that is always accepted. But when a job goes wrong and they find themselves with a mysterious orb, a girl with strange powers, and being chased by half-machine, half-living creatures, it will take a little more than cunning to make it out alive. In a story of found family, magic, and a little bit of mischief, the twins' story is full of action, adventure and heart. After all, there is never a dull moment for those aboard the Silver Shadow.
