Will Wilder faces a dire challenge when the Staff of Moses disappears, casting suspicion on him.

Can Will find the staff and stop the ancient evil before it's too late?

From the publisher

“Open the cover, fasten your seat belt, and get ready for a rip-roaring ride!” –Ridley Pearson, author of the New York Times bestselling series Kingdom Keepers Will Wilder is back to protect the town of Perilous Falls from another ancient evil–the fearsome demon, Amon, in this series that’s been described as having “shades of Indiana Jones and Percy Jackson” (Booklist). When the storied Staff of Moses–responsible for summoning the plagues of ancient Egypt–vanishes from the museum in Perilous Falls, Will Wilder is suspect number one. Desperate to prove his innocence and stop the thief from unleashing terrors upon the town of Perilous Falls, Will must use his supernatural gift to locate the beast–but it’s nowhere to be found. As the river runs with blood, sharp-toothed frogs surround his home, and clouds of swarming gnats choke the streets, Will must rely on his supernatural ability, everything he learned from his training, and help from his friends, siblings, and Great-Aunt Lucille to find the missing staff and unmask the hidden evil before time runs out for all of them. “This new Will Wilder tale will have readers itching for adventures of their own.” –N. D. Wilson, author of the acclaimed 100 Cupboards series Praise for Book 1 in the Will Wilder series, The Relic of Perilous Falls “You’ll love this wild and thrilling tale. It DOES NOT STOP!” –Dave Barry, #1 New York Times bestselling author “[A]n action-packed story of pith helmets and secret passageways, prophecy and skepticism, temptation and wickedness, and the most agile and lethal great-aunt a boy could hope to have.” –The Wall Street Journal “Suspense, adventure, humor, a compelling story, and characters that fired my imagination. Great fun and great frights.” –Dean Koontz, #1 New York Times bestselling author
