Rhory's Challenge
When a teenage priestess, living 5,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt, connects with Rhory, an English schoolboy visiting the British Museum, she puts herself and him in grave danger. The link they forge through the pathways of time is noticed. She must escape the murderous followers of the God Set, and Rhory is hunted by their modern counterparts, the nefarious Society of Secrets.
It is bad enough to have a glowing image of an Egyptian God of the Dead appear in his bedroom, but when Rhory finds himself dressed in his pyjamas at a druid ceremony, it is more than embarrassing. It is real. He discovers he has stepped back through time. So do those tracking him. They use black arts to attack him with a dog of supernatural darkness. Recovering, he confides in his cousin Natasha, who puts her own life at risk to help him.
Rhory receives an heirloom, an intricately carved puzzle, the Time Sphere. By solving this, he can locate the other Companions of Time in Ancient Greece and Egypt.
Together, they may prevent the Society of Secrets controlling time for their dark ends.
But will Rhory succeed before the bandstand in the park is removed, closing for ever the portal in time that he must use?
