“Can't we just get through one day of college without someone trying to kill us?” Devin is the first Dandridge male in generations to display the gift. As the child out-of-time, it is foreseen in the prophecy that he will be the one to wield the Essence Scepter and become the most powerful Descendant in the entire bloodline. The only problem is that Devin’s just trying to live a normal life. Not so easy to do when his cousin, Misty, and her Wiccan coven have to keep saving him and his friends from sinister forces out to eat them alive and possess their power. In the distant past, the Elemental Lords—led by the powerful sorceress, Mystica—have a major problem on their hands. Thanks to the death and destruction caused by Pyron, the Dark Fire Lord, the people of Charm City have revolted against them. Their only hope of stopping his reign of evil is to find the Essence Scepter before he can. Aunt Cassandra, the matron of the Dandridge Coven, is the bridge between two worlds. As the keeper of the Dandridge family secrets, her wisdom is essential. But when she reveals the dark side of the prophecy to Misty, it causes a domino effect that threatens to tear the coven—and the entire Dandridge family—in two. The hunt for the Scepter is on in RISE OF THE DESCENDANTS, the thrilling, action-packed second installment in THE ELEMENT SAGA, by Kevin Cornell Johnson!
