The Relic of Perilous Falls

Fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Peter Lerangis's Seven Wonders series will embrace this epic adventure in a rollicking new series by a New York Times bestselling author.

Will Wilder didn't mean to unlock his otherworldly gift. But that is exactly what happens when Will "borrows" a sacred relic believed to protect the town of Perilous Falls for nearly a century. Even though his intentions are good, the impulsive twelve-year-old unwittingly awakens an ancient evil endangering all of Perilous Falls.

As boats sink and hideous creatures crawl from the rising waters, it is up to Will to confront a nightmarish enemy and set things right before it is too late. Along with his sweet--if lethal--great-aunt Lucille, the curator of a museum of supernatural artifacts, Will proves that the actions of one twelve-year-old boy can change the world.

Raymond Arroyo is a New York Times bestselling author, the lead anchor and managing editor of EWTN News, and the host of The World Over Live. The story of Will Wilder grew out of Arroyo’s love of museums and fascination with relics. Will Wilder: The Relic of Perilous Falls is Arroyo’s first children’s book. The adventure continues with Will Wilder: The Lost Staff of Wonders in spring 2017. He lives in New Orleans with his wife and three children.
