The Children of Akletok is about two teenage boys who live in a small village named after their founder, and known sorcerer, Akletok. The village was entrusted to six long forgotten disciples who continued to promote Akletok's legacy and history after his sacrificial death. While it is unknown to almost everyone in the village, the bloodline containing magic still flows within these two teenagers, Kato and Amos, who are descendants of two of the original Elders. Amos and Kato are complete opposites in size, knowledge of their history and attitude. The boys are united in the overwhelming task of saving their village when an evil presence comes to town and steals the lifeforce, known as the Orb of Akletok, left behind by the sorcerer himself as a gift to those who followed his teachings.
