In Mark Frost’s second book of the Paladin Prophecy series, Alliance, we pick up right where we left off with Will and his friends. The Paladins are still after him, and the group must outwit them to find the secret of the school, and Will’s own family history. What makes Will so special, and who altered the friend’s DNA in the first place? To find out, they make a daring run through the underground network of tunnels under the school and stumble upon the ultimate secret of Earth – the human race was not the first group of beings to inhabit this planet. To Will’s horror, The Paladin’s know all about it, and plan to use this ancient race to help them take back control of Earth.
And on top of everything else, Will has growing feelings for both of the girls in his group. How can he choose between angelic Brooke or feisty Elise? This non-stop ride through a prestigious boarding school and ancient underground city will have readers up long into the night to discover the Paladin’s secrets.
Best suited for fans of Legend, The Maze Runner and Ender’s Game, Alliance is sure to please fans of superhero thrillers, with a dash of historical mystery thrown in. This is also a great crossover book for New Adult and Adult fans of Thrillers.
