About The Last
Timekeepers and the Dark Secret:
Only a true
hero can shine the light in humanity’s darkest time.
Fourteen year-old
Jordan Jensen always considered himself a team player on and off the field,
until the second Timekeeper mission lands him in Amsterdam during World War
Two. Pulled into the world of espionage, torture, and intolerance, Jordan and
the rest of the Timekeepers have no choice but to stay one step ahead of the
Nazis in order to find and protect a mysterious book.
With the help of
the Dutch Resistance, an eccentric baron, Nordic runes, and an ancient volume
originating from Atlantis, Jordan must learn that it takes true teamwork,
trust, and sacrifice to keep time safe from the evils of fascism. Can Jordan
find the hero within to conquer the darkness surrounding the Timekeepers? If he
doesn’t, then the terrible truth of what the Nazis did will never see the light
of day.

Read an Excerpt:
“I wonder what
else is down here.” Drake beamed his cell phone across the basement, hitting
jars of jams, pickles, and relishes. His stomach growled.
Jordan pulled the cheese from his pocket
and handed it to Drake. “Trade you for your phone.”
“Best. Trade. Ever.” Drake passed his
phone to Jordan.
Jordan walked over and grabbed a jar of
pickles off the dusty shelf. At least they wouldn’t arrive at the baron’s place
hungry. He hoped his uncle had managed to stop Amanda’s bleeding. His hand
tightened over the jar, the ridges of the lid cutting into his palm. A scrape
from behind the shelves made Jordan jump.
“Hello?” he asked, pushing jars aside. He
flashed the cell phone into the small, dark area.
“Who ya talking to, Jordan?” Drake asked
with his mouth full of cheese.
“Shhh, Drake.” Jordan listened. Hearing
nothing, he shrugged and turned back around.
“I thought I heard—” Jordan stopped and
pointed the phone at Ravi. His jaw dropped. “A-Are you serious, Sharma?"
Drake spat out his cheese, snorting with
laughter.
“Is there a problem?” Ravi asked, tying
the bowtie of his tuxedo.
“You look like a penguin with attitude!” Drake
slapped his knee.
“Say what you want, but I’m glad we didn’t
hit the cleaners on the way to school now,” Ravi replied, pulling down his
sleeves, “or else I wouldn’t have these dry clothes.”
Jordan chuckled. Suddenly, he heard a door
creak open, followed by heavy footsteps squeaking down the stairs. Panicking,
Jordan stuffed Drake’s phone in his track suit jacket’s pocket and waved Drake
over by the shelves. Drake slipped behind Jordan just in time, before the small
light bulb above the bottom of the stairs clicked on. Jordan swallowed hard.
There, staring directly at Ravi was a portly man in a blood-stained apron.
Tufts of blond hair sprouted from the sides of his balding head. His brown
trousers were pulled up past his waist, making him resemble an evil garden
gnome. In one of his hands, he held a huge butcher knife, its blade flecked
with blood.
Wielding the knife, the man pointed at
Ravi. “Who are you?”
Ravi licked his thick lips nervously. “The
name’s Bond. James Bond.”
