There are many rumors about the bay off Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Some say it was the site of the lost empire of the Solomon king and that great treasure lies beneath the waters. Others say terrible things happened here. On a hunt from the Solomons to Australia to Japan, what Sam and Remi Fargo find is both wonderful and monstrous - and like nothing they have ever seen before.

BENEATH THE WAVES A SECRET LIES
In the clear blue waters of the Solomon Islands the ruins of an ancient city have lain undisturbed for hundreds of years - until now.

GUARDED BY AN ANCIENT CURSE
Legend - even recent history - tells of a terrible fate befalling anyone foolish enough to venture near. Visitors do not return alive.

OR SOMETHING MORE DEADLY?
But when treasure-hunting team Remi and Sam Fargo dive to investigate the city, they find more than ancient monuments and lost artefacts.

Because someone is using the legends to hide their own dark and grisly secret. And the closer Remi and Sam get to discovering the truth, the closer they come to being the curse´s next victims . . .
