Synopsis

It's been almost a year since Cyrus and Antigone Smith earned their places as Journeymen at Ashtown, home of an ancient order of explorers that has long guarded the world's secrets and treasures. While their studies go well, Cy and Tigs are not well liked since losing the Dragon's Tooth to the nefarious Dr. Phoenix. The Tooth is the only object in the world capable of killing the long-lived transmortals, and Phoenix has been tracking them down one-by-one, and murdering them.

The surviving transmortals, led by legendary warrior Gilgamesh of Uruk, descend on Ashtown in force, demanding justice. Cy and Tigs find themselves on the run in a desperate search to locate Phoenix and regain the Tooth. In the process, they uncover an evil even more dangerous than Phoenix, one that has been waiting for centuries to emerge.

The second book of N.D. Wilson's Ashtown Burials series delivers all the adventure, excitement, and suspense of the first—and more!

Goodreads review by Gwen on September 09, 2012

Only the man who penned the crazy happy Notes From the Tilt-A-Whirl could weave death, dying, life, mortality, snot, sweat, blood, laughter, tears, and resurrection into such a story. Characters hailing from The Dragon's Tooth are back and more awesome than ever. New characters are everywhere: new l......more

Goodreads review by Grace on March 14, 2017

I have a very odd relationship with N.D. Wilson's books. On the one hand, they have everything I know I like in stories: quirky but not overblown prose, very real and solid characters (hooray for teenagers who can be smart and mature but still be very young! hooray for adults who can be cool and imp......more
