Adopted by a world famous, myth-chasing archeologist, seventeen-year-old Norah Lukens has spent the last ten years basically raising herself. Why? Because her uncle, Dr. Jack A. Lukens has been off searching for and often proving that the world's most famous myths are true. When Norah returns home from boarding school to find that her uncle's myth-chasing days are over-over because he's been murdered-she and her best friend James Riley set out on their own myth-chase to track down his killer. Submerged into a mythological world of deadly family feuds, magical stones, and giant fire-breathing bats, Norah soon discovers that the ancient Legend of the Cobbogothians found carved on Icelandic cave walls, is at the heart of everything. She also learns a thing or two about her own mysterious past.
