Gladiator Clash (Time Hunters, Book 1) (12 page)

King Arthur blew his horn. “Stop the duel!” he cried.

He marched up to Tom and took the branch from him. “I see you have the heart of a lion, young man. But I need knights that are strong enough to bear their lances through a full day's hard riding.”

Tom groaned.

“DISQUALIFIED!”

Tom joined Isis on the sidelines.

“Poor Sir Smartypants,” she teased. “Shame they don't have a fact-spouting duel. You'd
definitely
win that.”

“Oh, thanks!” said Tom.

Isis sighed and patted his arm. “It was just a joke. You weren't too bad, all right?”

“You weren't too bad, either,” said Tom. “But right now Al's our only hope of getting close to a knight. And it's a knight we need, if we're going to find the amulet. So let's cheer him on.”

Travel through time with Tom and Isis as they battle the mightiest warriors of the past. Will they find all six amulets, or will Isis be banished from the Afterlife forever? Find out in:
