Publisher Description
It's been almost a year since Cyrus and Antigone Smith earned their places as Journeymen at Ashtown, home of an ancient order of explorers that has long guarded the world's secrets and treasures. While their studies go well, Cy and Tigs are not well liked since losing the Dragon's Tooth to the nefarious Dr. Phoenix. The Tooth is the only object in the world capable of killing the long-lived transmortals, and Phoenix has been tracking them down one-by-one, and murdering them. The surviving transmortals, led by legendary warrior Gilgamesh of Uruk, descend on Ashtown in force, demanding justice. Cy and Tigs find themselves on the run in a desperate search to locate Phoenix and regain the Tooth. In the process, they uncover an evil even more dangerous than Phoenix, one that has been waiting for centuries to emerge. The second book of N.D. Wilson's Ashtown Burials series delivers all the adventure, excitement, and suspense of the first—and more!

"This book was awesome. Not only did it incorporate all kinds of mythology into its swiftly expanding story-line the sentences were all action packed jewels. I could barely breathe for the whole 2nd half of the book, as the chapters roared by one after the other. I cannot wait for the next book to be released."

" N.D. Wilson scores again with the second book in the Ashtown Burials series. It had been so long since I read the firsts one that I went back and read it, too. Very clever. I am looking forward to the next one. "

" Good follow-up to the first book...it's worth it to keep reading. It's even more intense than the first book, too. A little creepier. "

" As usual, Wilson kept up the pace and excitement all while deepening the characters that were already in place and introducing us to new ones like Arachne and Gil(gamesh). I hope he intends this to be more than just two books, as he's certainly left it open for more to come. "
— Cynthia, 9/12/2013 -
