Until she enters the Villa Europa, where something is clearly utterly amissâ€¦,Her host, a charismatic archaeologist, is racing to dig up the fabled islandâ€™s next great treasureâ€“even, perhaps, the tomb of the King of the Gods, himself.

Letty will need all her determination and knowledge to unravel the secrets beneath the Villa Europaâ€™s roofâ€“and they will lead her into the darkest, most terrifying place of allâ€¦.
