The Box Of Death by Matt Grawitch Excerpt


BLURB:
The Box of Death is an artifact that allows creatures from the abyss to freely enter the natural world – our world – and Malo has control of it. To work, it requires seven magical fragments, but Malo possesses only six of them. It is up to Nikko, Summer, Jolie, and Reece to stop him from locating the seventh and final fragment. If the Wizards of Light Magic fail, the natural world will be overrun by hellhounds, zombies, skeletons, and other even more powerful creatures.

And what will happen to Balthazar, the Sentinels, and the next Wizard of Lightning? What role will they play in the battle to come? Will they be consumed by the power of the Box of Death?    


Excerpt:
Chapter 1 
On The Road Again 


It had taken a couple of weeks for the group of Sentinels to make their way from the safe 
house to Virginia. The truth was, Michael was in no hurry to see Agatha Marks. He didn’t want to 
frighten the others, but he knew that things were not going to go well for them when they faced 
Agatha and the punishment she would mete out. 
He sat in the driver’s seat of the blue van, waiting for the others to return. The van belonged 
to Michael and Jennifer. It hadn’t seen much action lately; they had recently spent much of their 
time traveling around with a bunch of wizards. The last time he had spent any considerable time 
in the van, he had used it to smash into a bunch of zombies, trying to keep the Wizards of Light 
Magic from getting killed. Now he was using it to take them back to Virginia, where a similar 
challenge may very well await them. 
They had pulled off at a rest stop to use the restroom for one final time. Michael adjusted 
his silver sunglasses, looking at himself in the mirror. He had not shaved in several days, and he 
rubbed at the itchy stubble on his face. 
“I really need a haircut,” he muttered under his breath. He normally kept his hair cut fairly 
short, but the back had grown down to his neck and was starting to curl. And then there were those 
annoying wings on the side of his head. Not real wings, mind you, but the kind that always seemed 
to form when his hair got too long.
