Twenty years ago, the town of Creston repelled the perpetrator of a massacre, Cassius Flynn, by threatening to unleash a power unlike any other in the world. The mayor formed a strong order of mages to help fend off any future threats, and for years, Creston seemed to know peace. Flynn remained in his exile, and no one rose to challenge the order of mages. Now however, a mysterious boy washes up on the shores of Creston with no identity. No one knows or recognizes him, and the only link to his past is the brief glimpses of his memory that find their way out of the darkness and back to his mind. One thing is certain though. This boy is a gifted mage and contains within him, the power to be one of the strongest magic wielders the town has ever seen. Yet his amnesia leaves him crippled, having to learn the art of magecraft from the beginning. During his training, a masked villain known as The Wraith begins to terrorize the town, hunting the powerful artifact locked within the depths of Creston and wreaking havoc as it goes. An anonymous savior comes to the aid of the order of mages with knowledge of the Wraith's plans and movements, but it's not something they can rely on forever. The boy continues to hone his power to become the defense the town needs while searching his past for the identity of The Wraith. The rest of the town prepares for a moment they all knew was coming - the moment that tips the scales. Hidden is a story of new beginnings and new relationships, friends and foes, legends and lies. It navigates the pursuit of power and the fragility of the human mind, blending the natural with the supernatural. Above all, it is the conflict between good and evil - those who seek power to conceal it and those who seek it for themselves.
