Roger lives through stories and words flow through him like water. His twin Dodger sees the world in equations and mathematical patterns. Neither knows they were created in an alchemical laboratory by Reed, a man who learned the ancient arts from his predecessor. Reed designed the twins as vessels for immense power. Roger commands language and narrative. Dodger controls numbers and logic. Together they could reshape reality itself. Reed plans to guide them toward their full potential, then seize that power for himself. He wants to ride their ascension to godhood and claim their authority. The twins remain unaware of their true nature or their creator's intentions. They believe themselves human, though they possess abilities no human should have. Reed watches and waits as his creations grow stronger. The twins must discover what they really are before Reed completes his plan. Their bond as siblings may be the only thing standing between Reed and the divine power he craves.
