Protector (The Narthex Academy Series, Book 3)

Asher Haynes barely survived The Battle of the Gates. He and his friends fought off an assault by the Dark Prince’s demons in the supernatural world while a hurricane was bearing down in the natural. Now he’s being called upon by the Seer Team to join a new battle of good versus evil. This battle will take him far from his Charleston home to the land of pyramids, sorcery, and the burning sand of the Sinai desert. There is one goal: Protect the matteh at all costs.
The matteh, also known as “the rod of Moshe” is a powerful weapon. Three thousand years ago, a warrior named Moshe used it to prevail over the dark magic of Egypt’s sorcerers, horribly curse the land, and free millions of its slaves. Egypt’s sorcery fell to Moshe on that day, never to rise again.
The Order of Heka, an ancient secret society led by descendants of those defeated sorcerers, has been searching for the matteh ever since. Twin brothers now lead The Order and are very close to finding it and fulfilling their ultimate goal: Restore power to Egypt’s sorcery and dominance to its land.
If Asher is unable to protect the matteh and it comes under the control of The Order of Heka, the Dark Prince’s army will be unbeatable. It will mean a sure death for the operatives around the world and ultimately any member of the human race that won’t submit to The Order’s domination. This time, their enemy is not human, the stakes are higher, and the desert is unforgiving.
