Imprisoned together in a decrepit cell, Wisty and Whit cling to the only things they have left, a blank book, a drum stick, and each other. While searching for ways to escape, both begin exhibiting strange abilities. Maybe there is a reason they were singled out!
Can Wisty and Whit, a witch and a wizard, master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents, and maybe the world?
