Synopsis
Years after the original Kingdom Keepers, their children are following in their parents' footsteps without knowing it. The story is set in a near-future Epcot, where about 60,000 people live in a community around the Walt Disney World park. Several parents work for the Walt Disney Company and have kept their past a secret so that their children can grow up without special treatment. On the thirteenth birthday of Eli Whitman, a messenger delivers a secret communication during a solar eclipse. A group of ordinary kids is drawn into a fight to save Epcot and find a missing friend, and they discover they have unusual powers.
