Jack Mac Paidin has no idea his parents were powerful magic workers when he touches a golden telescope igniting the abilities in his blood. And he certainly doesn't realize his conspiring guardians have been waiting for this moment his entire life. When Jack learns the ring on his uncle's hand is there to monitor his magical energy, Jack's world is turned upside down. On top of it all, the strange telescope delivers visions from his grandma, who is stranded in the past. And only Jack can help with her return.
Then a mysterious butler appears with clues about Jack's incredible birthright. He learns of his magical hat-making grandfather, his duped older brother, and an evil organization that murdered his parents and intend to use Jack's powers for their own purposes. Jack finds himself thrust into a mystical adventure filled with danger and surprises at every turn!
