Teen Disney-guides face villainous infiltrators on a maiden cruise, racing to stop a larger magical takeover.
First published 2012 · Kingdom Keepers
The Story
Finn and his friends are invited aboard a new Disney cruise as part of the DHI program, while strange events suggest their enemies have followed them. The Kingdom Keepers must balance their public role as celebrity guests with secret efforts to uncover what the Overtakers are planning.
The mission spreads across the ship and several island and port locations, with shifting alliances, new characters, and growing tension inside the group. The kids face both external danger and internal strain as their friendships, leadership, and romantic feelings become more complicated.
As the threat escalates, the villains’ larger plan comes into focus and the stakes rise toward a major confrontation. The book ends by opening into the next phase of the conflict rather than fully resolving it.
