The headmaster at the Nexhoath School seems to have a compelling power over the students that, one by one, robs them of their individuality. New student Jai becomes involved in solving the mystery, and his adventures include shape-changing and visits to alternate worlds. Rubinstein's practiced hand mixes a number of implausible elements to produce an entertaining if somewhat didactic fantasy.
