About this ebook
Grandpa Joe’s town has always been controlled by the enemy, who walks openly among them. Yet, Max has always felt safer there than anywhere else. Until now that is. A perfect killer is on the loose. One that not only destroys a person’s body, but steals their soul.
Kacha, the changeling, has unlocked the secrets of the ancient magical book and is building a new hourglass and gateway. He discovers how to construct a powerful weapon called “The Demon’s Fork,” which allows him to capture the souls of everyone in the entire town, all at once. Kacha uses this curse on Grandpa’s town to distract Max and the others so he can complete his ultimate goal of capturing descendants of magical ancestry to fill his hourglass.
The hunt for Kacha leads Max and his friends on a dangerous quest as they try to capture Kacha before he is able to complete his evil plans. Secrecy will be the key to avoid an even deadlier situation.

Reviews for The Descendant and the Demon's Fork (Max and the Gatekeeper Book III)
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Descendant and the Demon's Fork is the third installment in the Max and the Gatekeeper series. Like its predecessors, this book continues the tale of a young boy named Max who finds himself at the very center of an intergalactic war. Max has the unenviable task of fighting the forces of evil while trying to cope with life as a teenager. One thing I've enjoyed about this series is the sheer imagination of the story. There is always some new twist or interesting adventure to read about. In many ways, this is the best offering yet. The villains are quite vicious in this one and the heroes are always hard pressed to outwit them. The only complaint that I had with this book is that Max and his best friend Cindy seem to be a little more helpless than usual. Because the enemies are so powerful, the children are over matched in nearly every confrontation with evil and seem to require the help of adults to survive their battles. If this happened only once or twice, I wouldn't mention it. But since this book is really about Max, I would prefer to see him solve most of the challenges he faces. This is really a minor point, because the story is compelling and I imagine as the series goes on, we'll see Max grow stronger. I think middle graders out there will have a blast reading this book. This is easily one of the best young adult fantasy series I've read and would recommend it to anyone who loves action-adventure novels with a heavy dose of imagination. Can't wait to see what's in store for us lucky readers in the next book! 4 Stars
