Power Of Five Bk 2: Evil Star Horowitz Anthony

Matt Freeman thought defeating the Old Ones in England was the end. It wasn't even close. Now the second gate is opening in Peru, and a fourteen-year-old street thief named Pedro holds the key to stopping it. Matt's visions pull him to South America, where an ancient prophecy, a sinister cult, and a businessman with unspeakable plans are converging in the Nazca Desert. Horowitz amps up the stakes from *Raven's Gate* — this is darker, faster, and the body count is real. The mythology deepens, the supernatural threats feel genuinely menacing, and the friendship between Matt and Pedro becomes the emotional core. It's *Indiana Jones* meets *His Dark Materials* with none of the hand-holding. Perfect for readers who've outgrown *Percy Jackson* but aren't quite ready for full-on adult horror. The kind of book that makes you miss your bus stop.
