Eli Arnold headed to Florida for a quiet summer vacation. Sixth grade behind, he and his older brother, Brady, were ready for some fun. Little does Eli know, however, that he was chosen millennia ago to save the world. Manipulated by unknown forces, Eli is plunged into a centuries old battle between the Keepers and the Order of Disorder. Botched alien abductions, lost civilizations, and “blood-thirsty” mummies (that’s Eli’s story and he’s sticking with it) are just a few of the many dangerous situations in which Eli finds himself. The action is non-stop as he travels time and the globe in an attempt to recover the powerful Keys to Forever, find his brother, and get home.

Trapped in the distant past, Eli Arnold continues his quest to locate the fabled Keys to Forever, his brother, and a way home. Eli encounters gods, monsters, myths and legends, makes new friends, and discovers new things about himself as his epic tale unfolds. Help comes from the most unlikely of sources (you should never judge a book by its cover) and enemies hide in shadows and plain sight. Will Poseidon's Pearl be recovered? Will Eli be able to send Pat home? Will he ever find his brother? The pieces of the centuries old puzzle begin to fall into place as Eli discovers the myth of mythology.

As the city of Rome falls to the Barbarian Horde, Eli must face his toughest challenge yet: Alaric. He is an agent of the Order of Disorder, the Visigoth King, and a man bent on recovering the Keys to Forever at any cost. Colonel Brady Arnold, Eli's brother-turned-agent after years of brainwashing by the Order, also continues his relentless pursuit of Eli and the Keys. Secrets are revealed as information about people from Eli's past, present, and future emerges. Answers seem to yield only more questions. Will Eli survive Alaric's games? Can Brady be convinced of his deception and saved? Is Eli prepared to learn the truth about himself and the roll he was chosen to play? From the fires of Rome to the ice of North America, danger lurks around every corner. Nothing is certain. And as always, things aren't what they appear to be.

Abandoned in Valhalla, Eli, Brady, and Livia must escape from the gathering Berserker army and pursue their ally-turned-enemy, Nikola Tesla, across North America. The Atlantean scientist now possesses Eli's Keys and the desire to reunite them for his own sinister purposes. Enemies close from all sides. In a land of magic and mystery, the natural and the supernatural collide. Eli struggles to adapt to his brother's return, finding that some promises are more difficult to keep than others. Will Eli track down Tesla? Will he be able to recover the Keys taken from him? To stop a mad man, he'll be forced to solve a famous riddle and rush headlong into the storm.

Plagued by bad dreams and a lack of sleep, Nate finds himself at odds with his friends and co-workers. Something terrible has worked its way into the library's midst.

The staff will be pushed to their limits as they discover what lies within and try to save the person who has saved them so often: Nate.

John Whiteside Parsons (born Marvel Whiteside Parsons on October 2, 1914 - died June 17, 1952), better known as Jack Parsons, was an American rocket propulsion researcher at the California Institute of Technology. He was one of the principal founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Aerojet Corp. He was also an occultist and one of the first Americans to take a keen interest in the writings of English author and Thelema's founder Aleister Crowley. In this capacity, he joined and eventually led an American lodge of Crowley's magical order, Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.).Parsons saw no contradiction between his scientific and magical pursuits. Before each rocket test launch, Parsons would chant Crowley's hymn to the Greek god Pan. In 1942 Parsons was chosen by Aleister Crowley to lead the Agapé Lodge of OTO in California following Crowley's expulsion of Wilfred Smith from the position. Sara Northrup (aka "Sarah Elizabeth" or "Betty" Northrup), began living with Parsons and Parsons' wife, Sara's half-sister Helen Northrup; later, Parsons and Sara became involved in an affair, which caused strife with Helen and eventually led to Helen leaving with Wilfred Smith. Sara Northrup would later marry author L. Ron Hubbard, the future founder of the Church of Scientology. Before that time, Hubbard would serve as occasional magical partner of Parsons
