Alex Scire never thought much about the supernatural – until he mistakenly took his dad’s magical ankh. Suddenly, he starts seeing ghosts everywhere, including his twin sister, Deborah, who’s stuck in the afterlife. Desperate to move on, she asks Alex to help her find the Palantir, an object with extraordinary magical powers. After discovering a clue to the Palantir’s location, Alex joins an archeological expedition headed to the ancient Mayan city of Lamanai to search for the object. But to find it, he has to battle a tyrannical ghost king, survive assassination attempts by those who killed his family, and gain the trust of two skeptical Druid apprentices.
After destroying The Fountain of Youth, all Alex Scire wants to do is go home, but he finds himself adrift on the ocean. With his usual knack for finding trouble, he faces one deadly encounter after another as soon as he reaches land until he meets a ghost who holds the secret to the fabled Sangreal. Hoping to help his sister move on in the afterlife, Alex embarks on a quest that takes him from the dungeons of the Spanish Inquisition to Dracula’s haunts in Transylvania. To find the mythical object, though, he will have to survive assassination attempts and a deadly new cabal of ghosts. But those are nothing compared to the danger that awaits him at the Sangreal.
After ruining his sister’s chance to move on in the afterlife, Alex Scire vows to find another one of the Maqlû – alien objects of immense power. But all he has to aid him is his dad’s magical ankh and a mysterious dragon’s vague directions to the Fountain of Youth. He sets out on the dangerous quest alone and is shocked when his Druid friends, Jane and Diana, follow him onto a ghost ship, where they convince the pirate captain to help them. To succeed, though, they’ll have to find a place that might not exist, battle pirates, and survive an eerie hurricane in the Bermuda Triangle.
