Now I'm glad I made that call.

Conquered long ago by a worldwide empire, the people of Thane toil like slaves on the land. Now three men come together to lead a rebellion and free them. The spirits have given one great strength. They have given the second magical insight. But there has been a mistake. The third one is not even supposed to be there. He missed his appointment with the spirits, so they gave his powers to his sister. She is the most powerful one of all.
