Remka's Light is a very ancient focus of arcane power. Brought from an unknown land to a tiny village in the Swiss Alps sometime during the Napoleonic war, it was passed from Wielder to Wielder and remained hidden until World War II. An attempt by a Nazi infiltration team to murder the townsfolk and use the village as a base for an invasion required the amulet's power to save the people. A portal into a mystic land was opened and all but two small children, a brother and sister, escaped. The little girl picked up the amulet left behind when the portal closed and became its Guardian. The final act of the spell was the obliteration of the village by a landslide.

A young, Nazi soldier witnessed the villagers' escape, but was severely injured in the landslide. Crippled, he was left behind when the infiltration team retreated to Germany. He survived and over many decades he searched obsessively for the girl. He maintained that the amulet held the key to curing his paralysis and restoring the destiny he believed would have been his under Nazi rule. Desperate and nearing the end of his life, he makes a deal with the Baron, a powerful sorcerer of the Dark. The Baron promises that his Dark Hunters will find the girl, now an old woman and wrest Remka's Light from her.

Enter the Butler Knights, a coven of magically gifted individuals dedicated to the Powers of Light. Lead by three witch sisters, the Knights make their home aboard a tramp freighter that sails around the world guided with visions sent by the Light. Knight teams are dispatched to rescue those threatened by the Dark and to retrieve objects of Power from those who would use them for evil purposes. Their latest quest: Remka's Light. Traveling from Boston to New York, London to Colorado, Italy to Switzerland, the Knights race to keep the Baron and his Dark Hunters from capturing the amulet and its young Wielder, newly claimed by the Power.
