Linus Baker lives strictly by schedule: in the morning, he works as an inspector in the Department for Magical Youth, and in the evening, he enjoys cozy evenings at home with his cat and old records. Linus doesn’t plan to change anything in his life until one fine day he receives a serious assignment from the Extremely High Command…
The inspector is sent to an orphanage on the mysterious island of Marsy, where six unusual children live—Lucifer’s son, an unidentified green creature, a girl-dwarf, a wyvern, a boy-werewolf, and a forest sprite. But they are not the only secret of the island. The orphanage is run by the mysterious Arthur Parnass. He sincerely loves his wards and is definitely not as simple as he seems.
The director is ready for anything to keep the children safe from the dangers of the adult world—even if that world has to burn down to the last ember.
