Ever since he can remember, Sebastian Phillips has felt as if he is a special person meant to do something great. As soon as he turns eleven, he finds out why. Even though he was born with cystic fibrosis, Sebastian still lives a normal life. But when Sebastian and his two best friends, Parker and Hunter-who are also growing up with lifelong illnesses-begin having unexplained dreams about a phoenix, a bear, and a dinosaur, they approach Sebastian's scientist father with the news. The three boys are about to receive shocking news from Sebastian's father-they are members of a secret order controlled by The Book of the Phoenix and have been blessed with supernatural powers used especially to keep a balance between good and evil. As The Book of the Phoenix leads the boys on a quest to attempt to defeat an evil witch in Norway, they soon uncover her true intentions and must use their special powers to stop her-before it is too late.
