When their house explodes and they are sent to live with Grandma X, twins Jaide and Jack Shield learn that they are Wardens just coming into their powers, who must protect humanity from the evil trying to break into this dimension.
Twins Jaide and Jack Shield had pretty ordinary lives until they turned 12. Then lots of odd things started happening, involving weather and strange explosions. When their house inexplicably blows up from the inside, they are sent off to live with their mysterious Grandma X, whom they've never met. In a strange house with talking cats and multiple weathervanes, the pair finds out that they are "trouble-twisters," imbued with magical powers that have just began functioning. Before Jack and Jaide have time to really learn much, The Evil, a terrible threat that has been building for centuries, seems to have made inroads. The pair are left to fight it to the best of their abilities. This is the first in a series.
