Dark Rising

An ancient creature lies dormant in the far reaches of the Pacific Ocean. Anna Vivaldi has never forgotten the disappearance of her mother, but at least she has the money and courage to find closure. But she'll need the only survivors from her mother's expedition: Whitmore, the drunken captain who lost something precious on the first voyage, and Nightingale, the man who had whisked Anna's mother away on a search for something ancient and terrible. On the vast ocean. In the haunted past. Wanted by millionaire treasure hunters and scientists. A thing that should not be real. An island of mysteries. An abyss of death. PREPARE FOR A DARK RISING.
