Aly has vanished into Atlantis, seized by the ruthless King Uhla'ar. Her friends face an impossible rescue mission. A massive behemoth blocks the rift between worlds, making any direct approach to save her nearly suicidal. The remaining kids realize they need more power. They must locate the final missing Loculi before they can mount a rescue. Their desperate search takes them first to the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. There they battle the goddess's fierce armies in brutal combat. Next they travel to the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, where they end up trapped inside a monstrous creature's digestive system. Each location tests their courage and friendship as time runs out. Finally, they return to the Karai Institute to prepare for their most dangerous mission yet. They must journey back into Atlantis itself to free Aly. But saving their friend means confronting King Uhla'ar on his own territory. The fate of their world hangs in the balance alongside Aly's life. Everything they have fought for comes down to this final, desperate gamble.
