Description
From one of Africa's latest writing talents comes a compellingly humorous and adventurous story filled with history, mysticism and pure fantasy...
Something is about to spiral the Quentin children into a world of historical daring and adventure, and it’s not just a book. For a smoldering mystery lies within the pages of this ancient scroll! One that has profound implications for the world at large if placed in the wrong hands, and harbors the secrets of an old man, whose chance rescue could change a small boy’s life forever!
From the sweeping ruins of France's Dunkirk during World War II, this teenage historical adventure moves on back to Africa during the Slave Trade Era and sweeps back further to America's Wild Wild Frontier of the nineteenth century before heading back to Judea during the Roman invasion of Jerusalem in 70 AD and Greece during the days of the famous King Leonidas and his brave Spartan warriors...the story never stops here but rolls on across China into France and on to the present, taking on a life of its own when a need arises now and then for our characters to be taken back into the past and quickly retired to the present before it is too late!
Three siblings are out to undo the confusion a certain magical book has wrought on their quiet county's normality after a series of unfortunate events put them all under the power of this ancient tool.... The boy in this trio has mistakenly ignited a powerful spell said to have been granted Man by Satan, himself, when he unknowingly pens down the names of his 'enemies' in this ancient scroll during a very trying time in his young life. Now the brother and his two adopted sisters must travel back and forth across time saving those The Book had barnished from the present as a result of this evil...a task they soon realise to be suicidal...especially when one is always making an appearance whenever a historical skirmish of 'battle-field proportions' is about to take place!
