On Andrew Owens's tenth birthday, he discovers he is a Fire elemental. He is then brought to the elemental realm called the Everglades by Evan Hawke, a member of the Hierarchy, a group of six elementals whose job is to protect the Everglades. He befriends Chris Peters and Emma Winters, who were born in the Everglades. The three attend school, where they learn about the history of the Everglades, the dangers of the relics and creatures throughout the lands, and the powers of the four types of elementals, which consist of Fire, Ice, Water, and Earth. Together, the three of them uncover the secrets of the Everglades as a new threat arises. Someone has summoned a Minotaur to hunt down a dangerous relic within the Everglades. The question is, who did it?
