'Rest easy, Rae. You are safe. No harm will come to you tonight. I swear it.' Rae MacCallahan hasn't fully gotten over the death of her mother, or the mystery of why she was the sole survivor from the crash of United Flight 427. Try as she might, she couldn't shake the feeling that there was something else at play that day, but that was crazy... wasn't it? Her entire worldview is shattered when she finds a mysterious necklace on a beach near her home in Aberdeen and her enigmatic coworker recognizes it as the artifact he has been searching for: the map to find Atlantis. His cagey attempt to convince her to give it up only causes her curiosity to take the reins. Could he help her solve her mystery? The two make a deal that neither of them can back out of. She swears to give him the relic. He swears to teach her about magic and to bring her into the crew that seeks the Lost City. They aren't the only ones who are hunting for the legendary metropolis. Some want to find it for themselves. Some seek to keep it locked away forever. Rae will be forced to learn quickly, or else she'll lose the chance to discover the secrets of her own past, along with her life.
