In a race against time, 13-year-old Xirsi must solve ancient riddles, face monstrous threats, and unlock his true potential before the Underworld claims everything he loves.
When a prophecy awakens, 13-year-old Xirsi must solve ancient riddles, face monstrous threats, and unlock his true potential in order to save his home. The Final Battle looms and the Intasimi Warriors must rise to the challenge or face losing the world to darkness.
Xirsi, the sharpest mind among the Intasimi Warriors, faces his greatest challenge yet when an ancient prophecy surfaces. To protect the world, he must solve ancestral riddles and unlock a hidden heirloom tied to his destiny. As he journeys from his forested home town of Boni to the capital city of Nairobi, the path to the Final Battle grows darker, and a secret weapon waits in the shadows. To win, Xirsi must trust his instincts and embrace the truth of who he is, even at the risk of his soul. The Underworld is rising and, in this explosive final instalment, Xirsi may be the world's last hope.
Praise for the Intasimi Warriors series:
"Nguru's series-opening debut is rich in the mythology and beauty of Kenya. Mwikali's path from self-doubt to confidence inspires, and her struggles with friendship feel universal. A handful of charming full-page illustrations enhance the work. A heartfelt page-turner." - Kirkus Reviews (Book 1)
“This is an exciting fantasy adventure – with an urgent mystery to solve and a surprise ending. A range of themes are covered – including the idea that true power comes from believing in yourself, using your skills, learning to trust and cooperate with others. The good news for young readers hungry for more, is that this is the first in a new series about the Intasimi warriors.” - Book for Keeps, 5 Stars (Book 1)
"Nguru’s sequel maintains the intrigue, action, and magic of the first entry. The Kenyan lore weaves a stunning background for the battles that unfold.” — Kirkus Reviews (Book 2)
A properly tense, triumphant closer." — Kirkus Reviews
"A really gripping hard to put down fantasy adventure series with a powerful message about friendship and inner strength.” — Claire Linney, author of The Time Tub Travellers series
