Timothy Hunter er som enhver anden 13-årig dreng, der fylder sine dage med at glo fjernsyn og stå på skateboard. Men Timothy er også ulig næsten alle andre på Jorden, og han er ved at finde ud af hvorfor. Det drejer sig nemlig – om magi. Tim tror selvfølgelig ikke på magi. Men det viser sig, at magi helt sikkert tror på ham. I det mindste nok til, at nogle af dens udøvere allerede aktivt planlægger hans alt for tidlige død. Heldigvis for Tim har han også allierede i de overnaturlige riger. Fire af verdens mest drevne og mystiske magikere har svoret at beskytte og oplyse drengen, og hver af dem har forberedt en rejse for at demonstrere farerne og belønningerne ved det magiske liv. Endnu vigtigere er det, at de også vil vise ham omkostningerne.
