After his harsh beginnings as a rough-and-tumble orphan on the streets of Victorian London, Jake Everton, the twelve-year-old Lord Griffon, takes his rightful place as the long-lost heir of an aristocratic family with magical powers—his personal quest, to follow in his slain parents' footsteps as a Lightrider in the age-old battle of good versus evil.
