The second story in the bestselling fantasy series The Power of Five by Anthony Horowitz.

After his experiences at Raven's Gate, fourteen-year-old Matt Freeman thinks his days of battling evil are over. But he is pulled into another horrifying adventure when he discovers a second gate exists.

Matt and his friend Richard travel to Peru, assisted by a secret organisation known as the Nexus, following a series of clues to the gate's whereabouts. However, there is a traitor in the Nexus, and Richard is kidnapped.

Matt manages to escape with the help of Pedro, a local boy. The pair travel to the Nazca desert where Matt realises the horrifying truth: the Nazca lines are the second gate – and it is about to open. But, this time, will he have the strength to prevent it?
