It stars five kids: Matthew Freeman (the leader of the five, has lived at least one past life, advanced at telekinesis, and he can see the future), Pedro (who is one the last descendants of the Incas and he is also physically identical to someone named Manco Capac). Scott Tyler and Jamie Tyler (who grew up with “Uncle Don”, an abusive guardian that made them work in a magic act in Reno, Nevada). Scarlett Adams (Eurasian and has the power to manipulate the weather, forecasting and is able to do astral projection).
They are supposed to defeat the Old Ones and save all humans. Matthew is in book one, Pedro is found in book two, Jamie and Scott are found in book three, and Scarlett is found in the fourth book. They each have a power of some kind, and are fifteen year old teenagers living in the modern world. There are Doorways, which are 25 doors that are located all over the world, built so that the Gatekeepers can use them. They only lead somewhere when opened by a Gatekeeper; they can walk through and have their pick of the 25 locations, all over the world. Without a location in mind, they will taken somewhere at random.

It is an updated re-imagining of a series, which was called the “Pentagram” series, from the eighties that Anthony Horowitz wrote that he did not finish (he planned on five books for the series, but only four got published).
