They'd rather shoot selfies in their 21st-century hometown of Marshton than arrows in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArcher asks questions about their missing grandfather during a dinner with Mum and Nan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter 30 years, Nan still misses him. Or so it seems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConvinced that clues about Grandad's disappearance are in Nan's attic, Archer, the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eintellectual, talks Mimi, the sportsperson, into investigating. They find a magical cube, which\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etransports them to Neven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnwittingly, the twins uncover information revealing the true identity of the woman they've\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eknown all their lives as Nan. Mum could be involved in the cover-up, but she's not saying\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eanything. Dad left them and neglected to provide a forwarding address.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRocked by the lies of adults they trusted, the twins take action. If trust was an issue before, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eit's nothing compared to the deceit and betrayal that envelops them. Despotic King Francas of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeven pulls the strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Books of Neven grant him his right to rule, but he needs The Bracelet of Akra, a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epowerful talisman that bonds the right people with its incredible power-the power of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twins' grandparents are the right people-the chosen rulers of Neven. But they need the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBracelet, which Francas is close to finding. After deciphering the riddles in the Books, he'll\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econvert the Bracelet's power to evil. Complete domination of Neven is next in his playbook, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efollowed closely by the conquering of Marshton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twins undertake to locate and reunite their grandparents. But their real grandmother is not a lady you'd spend an afternoon with nibbling scones and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esipping tea. She's a fierce warrior named Grak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs their plans get underway, the twins are separated. Each has to adopt the skills of the other\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto get back on track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA confrontation with the fake Nan looms, but not before she kidnaps Mum, who's an\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einnocent bystander. Fake Nan hands Mum over to the king. An action that forces the twins to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econnect with Grak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a band of collaborators, which includes Toby, a street-smart Neven kid whose specialty\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eis collecting dog poo, the twins resolve to undertake search and rescue missions.
