On the night of the Kindling, sacred fire from Olympus sweeps through Abdera, promising power to those it chooses. Twelve-year-old Democritus, who remembers every word ever spoken, stands with his friends Lykos, Ianthe, and Sitalkes, each hoping for a gift that will change their lives. But when the fire touches them, it grants abilities beyond mortal comprehension: impossible strength, blinding speed, the power to step through space, and a voice that compels gods themselves. Yet, the Kindling brings more than just power; a hungry darkness called the Hollow arrives, devouring memories, names, and entire civilizations. It has already consumed Atlantis and now threatens Olympus itself. Can four children, newly touched by divine power, journey across ancient worlds and confront gods to save reality from an encroaching void?
