Nightrise

   Nightrise is the third book in the Gatekeepers series. Unlike the previous two books in Matt's point of view, it focuses on Jamie and his older twin brother, Scott. Since they were children, they've known about their powers. They have the ability to see into each other's minds. While they can look at other people's minds, due to problems caused in their past, they refuse to.
     Jamie and Scott work at The Circus of the Mind for their 'Uncle' Don. After a series of strange events connected to the twins occur, they are generally ignored by child services. However, unknown to the twins, due to their strange powers, they are being hunted by the Nightrise Corporation. Nightrise, who has a Psi project, is using it to track down the gatekeepers by abducting children with strange powers. After a failed attempt at kidnapping both of the twins, they kill Don White and his girlfriend, Marcie. They get away with Scott, and torture him.
     Meanwhile, Jamie was rescued by a woman named Alicia. She is searching for her missing son, who had been kidnapped for his powers, like fourteen other children. Jamie forms an alliance with her, and together they sneak into Nightrise. By entering Colton Banes' mind, Jamie learns that Scott is at Silent Creek. Silent Creek is a correctional detention center for juveniles. So Jamie can sneak into Silent Creek, Alicia brings him to meet with John Trelawny, a presidential candidate. He agrees to sneak Jamie into Silent Creek under a false name.
     While he is at Silent Creek, Jamie is discovered by a man named Max Coring after demanding to see his brother. While Coring calls Banes, Jamie is left in his cell without the air conditioner on. When he is discovered by Joe Feather, he temporarily blacks out. When he wakes up, Feather reveals that he is on Jamie's side and wishes to help him escape. Together, the two find Daniel, Alicia's missing son. They quickly proceed to escape from the prison, but not before Jamie receives a fatal wound in his shoulder from Banes. He is teleported to the past to help the first Gatekeepers seal the Old Ones away. Matt reveals that there is ten Gatekeepers total, however the present ones are like a reincarnation of the original gatekeepers. If one gatekeeper dies in the present, then one from the past will replace them. After following the eagle, Jamie is brought back to the world of the living.
     Jamie convinces Feather to allow him to bring Daniel back to his mother, where the two share a teary reunion. After a day of resting, Jamie discovers that Nightrise plans to use Scott to kill Trelawny. He, Alicia, and Daniel rush to meet them at the parade. When they reach the parade, Jamie is ignored by Scott. Scott, who is controlling Trelawny's main guard, plans to shoot him. At the last minute, Jamie gets him to shoot Susan Mortlake, the woman who had tortured Scott. After she dies, Jamie is able to convince Scott to run with him. A member of the Nexus appears and gives Alicia her keys, and tells Jamie and Scott to go to Peru. After stopping in the forest with the police chasing them, Jamie takes Scott and they run through one of the magical doors and land in Cuzco, Peru. The story ends with the twins meeting Matt and Pedro, and Scarlett going to meet her father, who works for Nightrise.
