Seven-year-old Kole led an idyllic life as the son of world renowned magician, Maksim the Magnificent, and Lynnette Gorman Makarios, an heiress to the Gorman Games fortune. This all ended the night Nikolas' parents and baby sister died when their villa was destroyed by a massive explosion. Kole survived with only fragmented memories of the event, a mysterious globe shaped puzzle box (the last gift he ever received from his father), and the memory of voices in the mirror that warned him of dangers to come. Twenty-five years later, Kole is a gifted software designer for Gorman Games, and a low ranking member of the Brotherhood, a clandestine organization which gathers, analyses, and disseminates highly classified intelligence. When an attempt is made on Kole's life, painful memories return to him. Soon he discovers the current threat to his life is somehow connected to the murders of his family...and the contents of the strange globe puzzle box. Can Kole uncover the truth about his troubled past before the killers strike again?
