After learning that a group of sorcerers believe their son is the anointed one who will save their kind, James Stuart's parents immediately begin preparing for all that entails. Leaving their normal lives behind, they raise James in self-imposed exile to avoid those who wish to use James for their own fell deeds. At fifteen, James is wrongfully accused of murdering his mentor, Akil and is banished to The Never, a mysterious place where criminals of the worst kind are exiled –never to return. James, along with a group of exiles work together to solve the mysteries of The Never and return home.
