Andrew Rufus finally has a place in the modern world. He has a best friend; his mom accepts him; life should be good. But it's not enough. He wants to matter. He wants to have purpose. But more than anything, he wants to be with them, hunting the Black Shaman, saving the world. As Andrew struggles to find greater meaning, he's plagued with fears and doubt. He can't shake the feeling he's not living up to expectation. When the Grey Shaman finally pulls Andrew back into the past, it's not to fight the Black Shaman, it's to test him, to see if he's ready. Tormented by the thought he hasn't made any difference, the thought that everything is the way it always has been because he was always there, Andrew convinces Pecos and the others to try to change time. All the while he struggles to become stronger, to break the barrier that's keeping him from the power, to prove he's enough. The battle is fought and won, but Andrew's feeling of victory doesn't last long. His actions prove what he has always dreaded, and he's not ready. The journey into darkness continues. "Inspiringly dark and filled with perfect banter, M.M. Crumley does a triumphant job emblazoning new life into the nearly forgotten folk character of Pecos Bill. Charged with emotion, growth, and heroes who make you believe in legends again. This is one action-packed adventure you can't miss!" -Starred Editorial Review What early readers are saying: "The classic hero's journey turned on its head.
