Publication: London, Walker Books Ltd, 2008.

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 387.

Condition Report: Fine. The publisher's original hardback binding remains exceptionally tight with no structural compromise, and the extremities are entirely devoid of any typical shelf-wear or bumping. The striking, unoxidised dark teal sprayed edges of the text block remain vibrant and beautifully uniform. Internally, the pages are bright, crisp, and unblemished, showing no signs of age-toning or prior owner inscriptions beyond the author's signature. The dust jacket is equally pristine, exhibiting no rubbing, chipping, or fading to the spine or panels.

Catalogue Note: This is the true first edition, first impression of the fourth instalment in the widely acclaimed 'Power of Five' series. The volume is notably enhanced by the publisher's dark teal sprayed text-block edges and features the author's signature in black ink directly to the title page.

Signed true first editions of this title in such unblemished condition are increasingly uncommon on the open market.

Fifteen-year-old Scarlett Adams is caught in a media storm after her strange disappearance, while far away in Peru, Matt Freeman guesses the truth. He has finally found the fifth Gatekeeper, the last of the Five who must stand together against the dark powers of the Old Ones. However, the forces of evil are one step ahead, luring Scarlett to Hong Kong and trapping her in the dying, poisoned city of Necropolis. The Old Ones have been tricked before, but this time they have a plan and are in complete control.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
