Sam and Remi Fargo hear whispers about a bay near Guadalcanal where King Solomon's empire once flourished. Local legends claim vast riches lie beneath these waters, but the same tales warn of cannibal giants and mysterious disappearances. The treasure hunting couple cannot resist such a challenge. Their investigation takes them from the Solomon Islands across the Pacific to Australia and Japan. Each clue reveals more about the ancient civilization that vanished from history. The Fargos face dangers both natural and supernatural as they piece together fragments of a lost world. What they discover exceeds their wildest expectations, but it also threatens everything they thought they knew about the past. The truth waiting at the end of their quest proves both magnificent and terrifying.
