Readers of Peter Lerangis’s Seven Wonders and Brandon Mull’s Five Kingdoms will love the mesmerizing Egyptian setting in the fourth installment of this epic survival story series
Hylas and Pirra finally arrive in Egypt, only to find that the dagger Userref guarded is missing. Even worse, Telamon and the Crows are also in Egypt to hunt for the dagger, and they'll stop at nothing until they get what they've come for. But when Hylas realizes where the dagger is hidden—in Egypt’s ancient tombs, buried with the restless souls of the dead—it's going to take all of his courage to slip inside. And as his otherworldly visions grow stronger, Hylas isn't confident that he'll have the strength to make it out alive. With Havoc the lioness and Echo the falcon at their sides, Hylas and Pirra must rescue the dagger and make a daring escape...before the gods of Egypt consume them all.

      Gr 5-6-Hylas and Pirra are nearing the end of their journey to Egypt in the quest for the Dagger of Koronas, the only weapon against the mythic order of The Crows. Little do they know, Telamon has almost reached Egypt as well and he wants the dagger for different purposes. Now the race is on to see who will reach the dagger first and come out on top. Paver does a great job at integrating Egyptian myths seamlessly into the story and making it accessible to those who may not be familiar with them. The latest entry in the Gods and Warriors series is an exciting read for those who have read the other books. Even though there is a bit of background of the last three novels included in the prologue, new readers may find themselves confused at times. Fans of Paver's previous series as well as the three installments of this series will definitely want to pick this up.

      Hylas and Pirra are still on the run and still searching for the dagger of Koronos. Familiar thematic elements of the chase and meeting new friends and enemies are present in this fourth adventure. However, the new Egyptian setting, with its history, mythology, and mysticism, injects some fresh life into the story. The action, along with a burgeoning romantic subplot, keeps the story moving.
