In the northern village of Kollett, children born on the darkest night of the year are called The Dark Children, and their lives are sacrificed to beast gods to bring the spring and bless the village. When a boy and a set of twin girls are all born on the same dark night, the old midwife flees with one young mother and three newborns, hiding in a cave to survive.

Seventeen years later, the children have lost their guardians and spent three years in slavery. Lumi and Lusa, the twin girls, now following a new god, rescue Taktuk, their brother in heart, from the dark pit mines of Ruslana, finding him broken, angry, and furious with them for forcing him to survive.

Thus begins a story of redemption, growth, and adventure as the twins fight for their brother, and all of them decide if they are children of curse or blessing. A powerful tale of Balia, standalone fantasy books with a Christian worldview.
