13-year-old Jack has pure white eyes and his two sisters - Emma and Holly - have rainbow-colored birthmarks that make them stand out as freaks in the small town of Lebanon, New Hampshire. But then Jack discovers a mysterious kaleidoscope that pulls the three kids through a glowing red doorway.Now trapped in the Seven - a set of lands where colored Marks mean everything - the siblings are thrust into the ages-old struggle against the legendary Angel of the Abyss and her dark minions. With the aid of a freckle-faced servant girl, a banished Captain, a revenge-minded warrior, and a singing thief, they launch a desperate search for the first of seven items needed to fully activate the kaleidoscope - the key to getting home and saving the Seven from darkness.The worst part isn't even the shrieking of the black Shards hunting them each night. Emma and Holly are singled out as Guardians, and their seven colored Marks give them not only staggering powers but also a death sentence. And Jack is a Zero, a boy with no Marks and strange white eyes in a place where status and power are based on your colors. A million miles from home and he's still a freak.
