Synopsis

After his experiences at Raven's Gate, fourteen-year-old Matt Freeman thinks his days of battling evil are over. But he is pulled into another horrifying adventure when he discovers that a second gate exists. In Peru he meets Pedro, a boy who lived as a beggar in Lima and the second of the five Gatekeepers, and with Richard Cole and the expert Professor Joanna Chambers the pair travel to the Nazca Desert, where Matt realises the horrifying truth: the Nazca lines are the second gate, and it is about to open. This time, will he have the strength to prevent it? The second book of The Power of Five.
