Alexandra “Attie” Hotep is no virgin to attacks. Her ancestors, the Zarconians, were hunted to near-extinction, leaving the existence of their home, Atlantis, and their people little more than myth.

When a class trip turns deadly, Attie and her friends become stranded in the middle of the Pacific, and Attie finds herself targeted once more.

Enter Doug Hutchinson – the school’s soccer star with his own secrets. Attie and Doug soon realize the uncharted island’s wild animals aren't the only threats. There is a traitor amidst the group, one that plans to turn all Zarconians into permanent myths. And Attie is next.
