  Running away from home is usually a bad idea. However, Ignis, Allandra, and Michael have three good reasons for doing it. First, their father Vargas Havelock is a drug baron; second, he's thoroughly evil; and third, he expects them to join him in the family business before they get much older. Given all that, running away starts to look quite reasonable. But when Ignis and Allandra stage an escape during a holiday in Wales, taking Michael with them, things don't go to plan. Michael gets recaptured, and Ignis and Allandra nearly drown. When they wake up, they find they've been taken to a secret valley deep in the forest. A school is hidden there, built into the treetops, and it's filled with children studying to be ninjas. This is Rokkaku, and it's to become their home. And so Ignis and Allandra's new life begins. The ninjutsu training is hard, but the friends they find make up for it. Outside Rokkaku, though, Vargas is still looking for them. Sooner or later, Ignis and Allandra are going to have to face their father again ...and their brother too.

  Allandra and Ignis have been living for two years in Rokkaku, a secret training school for ninjas. Now they've been assigned a secret mission in London - which will take them back into the path of their drug-baron father. A surprise visit from their brother, Michael, convinces Allandra he's changed, but Ignis isn't so sure. So when Michael arrives at Rokkaku, seeking a family reunion, Ignis is suspicious. Could Michael still be working for their father? Allandra doesn't know what to think - but by welcoming Michael to Rokkaku, will she be bringing danger right to the heart of the ninja school?
