Once upon a time, a mysterious Seer, who never seems to remember her name, tells a young couple from Colorado that they will soon inherit a small kingdom and eventually have seven magical children named after each day of the week.

As the oldest child nears his 21st birthday, his life is first threatened and then endangered, and when this tactic doesn't stop the bad guys, the two youngest Monat children are kidnapped.
