Bad news involving Chernabog and Maleficent have caused the Overtakers to step up their game and there’s no telling what they’ve become capable of in the latest entry to the popular Disney Parks-based series for young adults, Kingdom Keepers IV: Power Play, by Ridley Pearson, available exclusively at Walt Disney World on April 4, everywhere else April 5 (available for pre-order on Amazon.com).

Pearson has offered the following video as an appeal to his loyal fans to help him investigate further just what those pesky villains are up to, inviting them to participate in an all-new viral video game, the ‘Kingdom Keepers: Race to Save the Magic Video Challenge’ coming soon exclusively to thekingdomkeepers.com.

For the five teens who modeled as Disney Hologram Imaging hosts,  life is beginning to settle down when an intriguing video arrives to  Philby’s computer at school. It’s a call for action: the Overtakers, a  group of Disney villains, seem to be plotting to attempt a rescue of two  of their leaders, both of whom the Disney Imagineers have hidden away  somewhere following a violent encounter in Epcot. A staged attack by new  Overtakers at Downtown Disney, startles the group.

One of their  own, Charlene, is acting strange of late. Has she tired of her role as a  Kingdom Keeper or is there something more sinister at play? When caught  sneaking into Epcot as her DHI, acting strictly against the group’s  rules, Finn and Philby take action.

Has the ‘impossible’ occurred? Have the Overtakers created their own holograms? Have they  found a way to ‘jump’ from the Virtual Maintenance Network onto the  Internet, and if so, what does that mean for the safety of the parks,  and the spread and reach of the Overtakers? Are they recruiting an army  from outside the parks?

A dark cloud in the  Kingdom Keeper era is unfolding, and with dissention in their own ranks,  it’s unclear if there’s any chance of escape.

Fans of the series are also encouraged to become a fan of the series on its official Facebook page where they’ll find news on the upcoming game, book tour information and even excerpts from the book.
