Thirteen-year-old T'Challa can't wait to go back to America to visit his friends Sheila and Zeke in Beaumont, a small Alabama town, over their summer break. He's thrilled to be on holiday away from his duties as the Prince of Wakanda.
But as T'Challa begins to explore the town, he finds that a man who goes by the ordinary name of Bob happens to be everywhere he is - and T'Challa begins to think it's no coincidence. When residents of the town begin flocking to Bob's strange message, and a prominent citizen disappears, the Young Prince has no choice but to intervene. Before long, T'Challa and his friends find themselves caught in a plot involving a rare ancient book and a man who's not as he seems. Swept up in a fight against an unexpected and evil villain, T'Challa, Sheila and Zeke must band together to save the people of Beaumont... before it's too late.
HE IS T'CHALLA. THE PRINCE OF WAKANDA. SON OF T'CHAKA.
One day, he will wear the mantle of the Black Panther. But for now, thirteen-year-old T'Challa is back in Wakanda - back to his training, his family and the comforts of home. And he is surprised to find himself missing his friends so soon after his recent time in America. That's why he's thrilled when Sheila and Zeke come for a surprise visit. But their introduction to the wonders of Wakanda takes a dark turn when a national holiday goes wrong - and the mysterious, terrifying Originators are unleashed from the kingdom's past. Even worse, now the elders of Wakanda, including T'Challa's parents, are banished to a place beyond space and time. To save his nation, T'Challa will need the help of all his friends, including M'Baku and his sister, Shuri. It's a supernatural showdown between Wakanda's past and its future, and it will challenge all that T'Challa thinks he knows about his home.
From award-winning author Ronald L. Smith, the third book in the Young Prince trilogy brings the series to an epic conclusion.
