Synopsis
Life has just gone from bad to worse for Sam Donnelly. School has broken up for the summer holidays, which is a good thing, but his mum is sick with a mystery illness and he’s been sent to The Bay to stay with his bullying twin cousins indefinitely.
What Sam doesn’t know is that his life is about to change, forever. His discovery of a gold medallion at the beach sees him plunge into an adventure, and into another realm that he had only imagined existed in legends.
His loyal friend Jackson unwittingly comes along for the ride, and grudgingly accepts his fate when the boys realise that there’s no turning back even if they wanted to. Their destination is Auratus, the golden city, and Sam’s task is to return the medallion to the Solarium in the Golden Tower. If they fail, the world will fall into darkness and to be ruled by Sceleratus, the evil Sea Lord, who will stop at nothing to get the Sun Medallion.
Can Sam save Auratus and his mum? And will he and Jackson ever find their way home?
