Publisher's Synopsis
It has been a while since nine college students were first thrown into a world of espionage and treasure hunts. Now strewn around the globe, the members of the Rising Flock race against the Shifting Shadows and their allies to uncover their treasure and secrets. In Nepal, Emily and Lukas have finally freed Tonya from the Shifting Shadows. Now that she's on her way home, their new objective is to wreak havoc. But in order to gain Radenie's trust, someone must die. Sam and Nichole are in Egypt, following the map to find the treasure. Unfortunately, the Shadows are the only ones who can take them there. Now they must decide whether the treasure is hidden in the desert or if it is just another clue. As Tonya and Collin trek across India, they are grateful to be alive but have no real plan for returning home. With another group hot on their trail, they accept help from a dangerous man with uncertain loyalties. Meanwhile, Ryan, Max, and Brooke face the Shadows in their own backyards. Home will never be safe as long as the Shadows exist. But even if the Shadows are defeated, will life ever go back to normal?
