When four teenage archaeologists pinpoint the location of a hidden lake promising both risk and riches, they follow their ancient Greek map to the adventure of a lifetime. They soon discover they don't need superhero powers or DNA from mythological gods to overcome history's most frightening beasts or infamous villains. After barely escaping with their lives, they return home with backpacks filled with treasure. But before enjoying their treasure trove, they must rush back to the lake to prevent it from being destroyed by one of the most fearsome creatures in Greek mythology. This time they enlist help from an unlikely cast of characters who reportedly met their demise centuries ago. As they unravel the stories of their crew and encounter perfectly preserved ancient wonders on their modern-day voyage, they begin to suspect an unimaginable evil plot. Who-or what-is the force behind their incredible encounters?

As the book draws to a close, we all learn a valuable lesson. With friendship, teamwork, intelligence, self-reliance, and a little bit of luck, we can conquer anything.
