The Story

When Jack is two, Eleanor becomes pregnant with their second child but tragically, she dies of toxemia within hours of their daughter Skye being born.  Although William is devastated, he has the children to think of, so he hires local woman Clementia to care for Jack and Skye and does his best to make a normal life for them.

 

When Jack is ten and Skye is eight, William decides to return to Falmouth.  He wants the children to get to know their grandparents and their heritage.  He also feels a need to return to the place where he and Eleanor were so happy.  William, Jack and Skye board the SV Aakarmiah and sail for Falmouth.

 

During a violent storm in mountainous seas, the Aarkarmiah strikes a reef and sinks.  As the only survivors, Jack and Skye are forced to fend for themselves.  They are swept on to a small rocky island where they find shelter in a tiny cave.

 

From there, Jack and Skye descend into an unknown world where they find themselves guided by forces of light and hindered by relentless forces of darkness.  Their subterranean adventure brings them to amazing places, past curious terrains and through unexpected climates.  On their way, Jack and Skye encounter the lost City of Seludia where they meet with surprising events.  Throughout their  journey, Jack and Skye experience a new dimension of altered reality that they could never have dreamed of.

 

Finally their struggles bring them to the legendary City of Atlantis.
