  Matt, Pedro, Scott, and Jamie, the Gatekeepers, are gathering up their strength to once again face the Old Ones. Unfortunately, they were not able to prevent the Old Ones from entering the world because they just weren’t strong enough. They need the fifth gatekeeper to join them, Scar, before they will really be in a position to defeat the ancient evil beings who want to take over the whole world. The big problem is that they don’t know who Scar is, and they know that the Old Ones must surely be looking for her.

  Half a world away, Scarlett Adams is happily living with her parents in London. She has no idea that she is a Gatekeeper, until she is pulled through a portal door and whisked off to the Ukraine by monks who serve the Old Ones. During the eighteen hours that she is in captivity, Scarlett learns who and what she is, and she is terrified.

  Thankfully, Scarlett is able to escape and she is reunited with her family, briefly. However, her adventures have only just begun, because the race is now on as the Gatekeepers and the Old Ones battle to get Scarlett into their possession.

  In this thrilling fourth book in the Gatekeepers series, master storyteller Anthony Horowitz takes his readers from Peru to London and on to Hong Kong. Readers will join Matt, Scarlett, and the other Gatekeepers as they face terrible dangers, treachery, and more. Horowitz takes his readers on a gripping and wild ride, and then he leaves them hanging. Readers will be eager to find out what happens next.
