Gatekeepers

As punishment for a crime he didn't really commit, Matt was given a choice: go to jail or go live with an old woman named Mrs. Deverill in a remote town called Lesser Malling. He should have chosen jail. A strange and sinister plan is coming together made in Lesser Malling, with Matt at the center of it all. People who try to help him disappear... or die. It all ties to an evil place named Raven's Gate - a place whose destiny is horrifyingly intertwined with Matt's own.

When Matt closed Raven's Gate, an ancient portal to the world of evil, he thought the trouble was over. But sinister forces are still hot on Matt's trail and will stop at nothing to destroy him. Somehow five children from across the globe must join forces, as the threat of the Old Ones still looms near. Now Matt and the second of the five, Pedro-who speaks no English-must find the second gate in the lost city of the Incas before the evil star rises.

Anthony Horowitz pens the New York Times best-selling Gatekeepers series, which includes the action- packed novels Raven's Gate and Evil Star. With Nightrise, he amplifies the suspense as an evil group strives to imprison and control the psychic twins, Scott and Jamie.

The spellbinding fourth novel in the Gatekeepers series, Necropolis continues the saga of Matt and his fellow Gatekeepers. The sinister corporation known as Nightrise is gathering strength-as are the Old Ones who will let loose their dark powers upon an unsuspecting world. Into the fray, Matt and three of his comrades head to Hong Kong to locate a girl named Scarlet-the final Gatekeeper. Is she the key to stopping the rise of evil?

Having escaped from Hong Kong, the five gatekeepers - Matt, Pedro, Scott, Jamie and Scarlett - are scattered in a hostile and dangerous world. As they struggle to re-group and plan their next move, the malevolent King of the Old Ones gathers his forces in Oblivion: a desolate landscape where the last survivors of humanity must fight the ultimate battle.
