Miskatonic University is bathed in the blood of the students who have walked its halls. A place where the darkness is more than just shadows. As with many of the best universities, many students having a distinguished family name-but at Miskatonic this can be as much a curse as a blessing.

Such an aged repository of occult histories has secrets of its own. Miskatonic University is an anchor for all reality. Held tentatively in place by spells woven into its walls over generations.

Someone, somewhere, is breaking those spells and all of the universe is on the brink of tearing apart.

A spell was cast to alter causality and bring together the strongest bloodlines to have ever walked through the halls of Miskatonic University. The Scion Cycle.

Some of this year's freshmen have their own secrets. Their veins pumping with the cursed blood of their families. They must overcome the horror of their lineage and unearth who they truly are if reality is to be saved.

The power of Kaziah Mason, the brood of Innsmouth, the madness of R'lyeh, the quest of Randolph Carter, and the insane brilliance of Herbert West in the hands of teenagers.

What could possibly go wrong?
