When Maurie, Janine, and Bobby Wells return to the mythical land of Eridu, they are given an important mission to fight the Darkness. After deciphering ancient languages and intricate puzzles, the Wells children learn they must recover the King's magical scroll to bring light back into His Kingdom.
But the road to finding the scroll is difficult, and they must team up new friends and old foes, battling dangerous creatures and overcoming obstacles on their epic journey.
The children are guided by Prince and Neumatos, whose power and goodness continue to surprise them. Yet, when new and powerful enemies threaten their mission, the children and crew worry that their mission is doomed. Will Eridu be consumed by the Darkness? And how many can be saved before they are swallowed up completely?
This is the second book in the Adventures in Eridu. We recommend reading
The Land in the Woods first!
Using mythological themes and creatures from history and children's classics, these books will inspire your children's imagination and teach them important values of faith, courage, and love.

The Hobbit and
The Lord of the Rings and an ocean voyage similar to
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in
The Chronicles of Narnia. It has danger, battles, and comic relief along the way, geared to entertain today's young readers.
