Trunks of Ages: the Seven Seals Mary Beth Frank

The future world of Armistoria, and its beloved king, are in peril. Its people are being deceived into a soulless, hopeless eternity by an evil force known as Asheron and his followers, the Sepulcher. In time past, what some call the present, fifteen-year-old Sebastian Hanks and his five siblings, the children of two famed archaeologists from Cornell University, can be found at their home in Ithaca NY. Until now the children have been living careless lives, with no knowledge of their destiny in a future world. One evening, shortly before Christmas 2008, six mysterious trunks arrive in their attic. Suddenly finding magic in their lives, Sebastian is forced to lead them on a journey to find the secrets to the trunks. Having lived in the shadows of his parents' fame and wealth, Sebastian is not used to dealing with this kind of leadership or to living so close to the edge. Along the way, they meet Gina, who becomes a close friend and confidant, and Cyrus, a mysterious man who insists on protecting them. Not sure who to trust, the children find themselves unexpectedly in danger, thrust into a strange world of prophecies and portals. This is an amazing journey about Sebastian Hanks and his siblings finding themselves, their family, love, and a new world of magic that changes their lives forever.
