In Salem Massachusetts, in 1692, a powerful witch named Helen escaped with her Husband Robert Hathorne. She used her magic to protect Robert and herself as the couple made their way to the English settlement of Rhode Island. The couple settled down into a normal life until their daughter turned thirteen. That’s when they discovered that the magic was passed down through bloodlines. As none of their four sons gained powers at thirteen, the couple figured that only daughters received the gift of magic.

Generations of children proved that hypothesis correct, until more than three centuries later when boy and girl fraternal twin descendants celebrate their thirteenth birthday and learn that they both have magic powers.
