At the dawn of human civilization, four separate tribes joined together to form the Quaternity. They have guided mankind throughout the centuries, responsible for such events as the rise of the Roman Empire, the Black Plague, and the Industrial Age. The tenuous peace between them has shattered, forcing those aware of their existence to prepare for war.
Spirits of the dead, beings known only in myth, and a legendary immortal are drawn to five-year-old Emma who is the key to the salvation of the world. Through her, hope is rekindled as the journey to reunify the primordial elemental artifacts begins.
Music often inspires scenes, helps mold the tone of a narrative, and in some cases, defines a character.

Hidden Author
Where would the Author make a cameo?
Stan Lee is notorious for making a cameo in movies and television series based off his written works. With that in mind, where would the author of this novel make an appearance in a visual adaptation of the book?
Henry attends a secret auction that has a wide variety of artifacts with mysterious abilities. During the scene his casual attitude agitates the woman next to him. However, sitting on the other side of the artifact collector is the author who looks amused by the antics of the man who is there to collect a music box. This reveals that not all present are attending with sinister intent. Like Henry, the author seeks to acquire a certain something that may hold great importance for him.
