About the Books
The Power of Five is Anthony Horowitz's sweeping five-part saga about five teenagers scattered across the globe, each unknowingly carrying a fragment of an ancient, protective power. When troubled Matt Freeman is sent to a foster placement in a remote village, he stumbles into a nightmare involving standing stones, a secret cult, and a gateway that must never be opened. From there, the series expands outward, following Matt and the other four "Gatekeepers" as they are pulled from England to Peru, from America to Hong Kong, chasing clues left behind by an ancient civilization determined to keep monstrous forces sealed away. Along the way, the group faces kidnappings, double agents, and creatures drawn from ancient myth, testing every ounce of courage they possess. Each installment raises the stakes with conspiracies, betrayals, and a countdown to a final confrontation that could decide humanity's fate. Horowitz grounds the fantasy in real-world settings, giving the saga an urgent, contemporary edge that sets it apart from typical adventure fiction. Themes of destiny, sacrifice, and trust run throughout, as the five must learn to work together despite fear and distance. Fans of Alex Rider will recognize Horowitz's signature pacing and cliffhangers, while newcomers get a complete, satisfying arc from an unsettling opening to an explosive conclusion. Reading the set in order rewards patient fans with a payoff years in the making.
