Fifteen-year-old Charles Wallace and the unicorn Gaudior undertake a perilous journey through time in a desperate attempt to stop the destruction of the world by the mad dictator Madog Branzillo. They are not alone in their quest. Charles Wallace's sister, Meg - know grown and expecting her first child, but still able to enter her brother's thoughts and emotions by "kything" - goes with him in spirit.
But in overcoming the challenges, Charles Wallace must face the ultimate test of his faith and will; he is sent inside four people from another time, in order to search for a way to avert the tragedy threatening them all.
