The eagerly-awaited fourth book in this bestselling series. Hong Kong has been taken over by the Old Ones and has become Necropolis, city of the dead. Once in, there is no way out...

Evil has been unleashed on the world and only five children – with special powers – can save it. Matt and the other three desperately need to find Scar, the final gatekeeper, who has been trapped in Hong Kong, where puddles of water turn into puddles of blood, where ghosts, demons and hideous creatures stalk the streets. Matt has no choice but to follow her. Now, both imprisoned, their only hope of survival is to reach a secret door in the Man Ho temple. But even if Scar can find her psychic power, it may already be too late.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

8/10

This book surprises. Somehow Mr. Horowitz has turned an ordinary fantasy story to something more. It makes you want more, and keeps you interested until the last page.

Scarlett's story is a bit scary and exciting at the same time. Raven's gate was very good, Evil Star wasn't as good as it, Nightrise could have been better, but this one was great work.

Very nice book, easy to read, makes you smile and send shivers down your spine. Can you ask much more? ^^
