The fabled land of Atlantis faces annihilation again. This time, after the earthquakes, black holes appear to suck everything within reach into dark nothingness. After two years of failing to find a way back to Atlantis, fourteen-year-old Adam Danburg wants nothing to do with the special place. Then ancient forces pull him into the city once again. Conflicting prophecies, mistaken beliefs, and shifting time conspire against Adam, along with Orri, Tya, and Caileen, stopping them from saving Atlantis. Adam must discover the right path to battle the evil forces before Atlantis is swept into the black void.
