Heroes of Abraxas

World of Abraxas Series: Book Two

Summertime for David Stanhope means barbeques, bike riding, and being chased across dimensions by evil sorcerers.

When David and his sister Amanda unearthed a mysterious ruby in their family's attic last summer, it launched them on the adventure of a lifetime. A year later, they're back home, trying to lead normal lives. Until one day a knock at the door forces them back into the dangerous power struggles in the magical world of Abraxas.

Two of their friends from Abraxas have been sent to warn the Stanhopes about a new threat. The followers of Adrian the Deceiver are continuing their former leader’s quest to steal the five magical Stones of Abraxas, and the Stanhopes' ruby is one of the sought-after stones. David and Amanda would be defenseless if their enemies chase them to the nonmagical world, so they must return to Abraxas in hopes of protecting the precious ruby.

While the Stanhopes try to figure out whether they can ever return home, they find themselves facing many questions: Who's behind the repeated break-ins at the castle? What's wrong with Cousin Beth? Why is Cousin Peter so terrifying? And what's that gooey pink stuff climbing up everyone's legs?

Whatever happened to a nice, relaxing summer vacation like normal kids get?
