When Captain Demetri comes to the palace of District Two to report the death of the squad he was assigned to kill, he doesn't realize that all four of them are still alive...and headed his way. Upon learning of the Forbidden Book that contains the quest and fate of each Youth Guard member, Jesse and Parvel realize they could use this book to help other squad members who are still alive. Obtaining the book is no easy task, and soon the group is on the run and fearing for their very lives. Can they find the Forbidden Book and put it to good use before Captain Demitri catches up with them? There's more excitement in Books 1 and 2 of the Amarias Adventures™, "Quest for the Scorpion's Jewel" and "Escape from Riddler's Pass."
