Summary

Sometime during the Age of Exploration, a mysterious storm erupts in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It is no natural phenomenon. It never moves, and it never ends. One day, a ship finally returns from inside. The sailors spinning tales about a mysterious land on the other side of the great black storm. It does not take long for the news to spread. The lost continent of Atlantis lies on the other side of the great storm. Elias Ansel was only a young boy when his father Barclay left on a ship for Atlantis, promising to return with riches beyond his poor family’s wildest dreams. Barclay did not return for many years, and when he finally did, he brought no riches, and he would not even speak of his adventures. He carried back only a small strongbox that he never opened and never talked about. He became nothing more than a drunkard. Elias’s parents die, leaving him an orphan. With nothing to lose, he opens his father’s strongbox and discovers an incredible treasure. Yet even Elias has no idea just how valuable the treasure is, and Elias begins to realize that he has much to learn about his father and himself. Perhaps Barclay Ansel was far more than Elias ever knew or gave him credit for. Elias and his best friend Raphi soon find themselves caught up in an incredible adventure that will lead them into the heart of ancient Atlantis to find the truth about the Ansel legacy.
