The legendary island of Atlantis is on the brink of collapse due to a powerful curse. Can Aria and Liam save it before it's too late?

Thirteen-year-old best friends, Aria and Liam, are racing to win their sailing competition when a mysterious cave unexpectedly transports them to the legendary island of Atlantis, a place they never thought existed.

Their arrival comes with a mission they never asked for: the Crystal of Light, a powerful symbol of the island's longevity and Poseidon's favor, is fading, plunging Atlantis into chaos.

As tragedy strikes and panic spreads, it's not just the royal family in peril—every Atlantean is at risk. Now, Aria and Liam must unravel the source of a dangerous curse before Plato's ancient warnings come true. But with friendly faces becoming suspicious eyes, they soon realize their greatest danger might come from the Atlanteans themselves.

Can Aria and Liam break the curse in time and find their way home, or will they vanish alongside Atlantis forever?
