About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

Erik D.J.

It then completes the fateful tale of the Party's perilous journey through the "Secret Way," as they follow the enchanted pull of the locating Scepter, and descend into the uncharted depths of Underearth. Displaying courage and the unquenchable spirit of soldiers, they meet danger head on, encountering the terrible Darg, and battling for their lives in the Halls of the Dead. Protecting the "Gem of the Staff," they race to acquire the rest of the artifact and save their world. Captured, they prepare to meet their dooms in the gladiatorial Arena before the thousands of Vlad's army. Finally meeting their nemesis, they strive to thwart his diabolical plan.
