No one ever said saving the world would be easy. In the second installment of this thrilling fantasy series all about finding your inner hero, a 12-year-old boy leads the charge against the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Alex Wise is no superhero. Or at least, he doesn´t feel like one. Sure, he vanquished Death and saved his sister Mags-with the help of some new magic powers, his best friend Loren and demi-god Liam. But the apocalypse shows no signs of slowing down. Now, Alex and his friends will have to find new allies and face new dangers-from battling a giant snake in a literal ghost town and infiltrating the Horsemen´s new home base on the Vegas Strip…on the back of a dragon. With everyone looking to him for answers, Alex isn´t sure he´s cut out for this world saving thing. And the closer he gets to Liam, the farther away he feels from Loren and from Mags, who hasn´t been the same since she was possessed by Death. How can Alex lead a team if he doesn´t even feel like he deserves to be a part of it?
