“The Sinestri come for each generation. During this time, it is up to us to resist and destroy them if we can.”

Blood runs through the pipes in every home in Perilous Falls. At the river’s edge, crimson water laps against the banks. No one wants to believe the plagues of Egypt are coming to their town—plagues that will claim the lives of the first-born.

Will Wilder is hardly ready to face the formidable demons of ancient Egypt. His training is still in the earliest stages. His greatest weapon has just been stolen—the wondrous staff of Moses. Glimmering raven feathers shimmer ominously in the shadows, invisible to all but young Wilder. Dark forces are rising in Perilous Falls, and the Brethren guardians have a traitor in their midst. Demonic forces rage through the town, ably summoned by the malevolent wonder-worker, Pothinus Sab. With each new plague, more dangers confront the first-born of the House of Wilder. In a land tormented by dark secrets, relics and miracles shine light on Will’s path.

Raymond Arroyo’s latest book is alive with the wonder and cruelty of Egyptian myth. Will must face the town’s greatest threat all alone, armed with weapons he doesn’t know how to use. He turns to words of good counsel: “Silence and trust shall be your strength”. In his moment of darkness, he “trusts in grace, and improvises the rest.”

Admirable advice, in these times of profound uncertainty.  This book was timely when it was first released, and even more now, when our world needs every moment of light and creativity it can receive.
