It’s been a difficult year for fifteen-year-old Colman. After a brutal car accident, each day is split between painful rehab and the nightmares that overwhelm him when he sleeps. All Colman wants is the quiet and freedom that come with the isolated campground he and his family return to each summer. Traveling alone with Maeve, his twelve-year-old Mensa-level sister, who may or may not be fighting terrorists online, they can’t wait to see their three best friends. There’s giant but painfully shy Dan, a Texas farm boy who relates better to animals than humans. Ira, an irrepressible deaf kid from Maine, who taught them all sign language and how to blow stuff up. Finally, there’s Lily, Native American, smart, tall, athletic and way more attractive then Colman can reasonably understand. Maybe this will be the summer that he does more than nervously grin around her? But all of that is put on hold when, for the second time that year, Colman’s life is changed in an instant. In the back bedroom of a small camper, something impossible is loudly snoring. Something so familiar, yet so different. And it needs their help. Without warning, Colman and his friends are thrust into a mystery that stretches back millennia. Finding themselves aggressively pursued through the backcountry by the wealthy, handsome and devious Dustin Avenger, a famous reality show adventurer who’s obsessed with killing the creature Colman and his friends must protect at all costs. But they are not alone. Colman and his friends will find help from a centuries-old Order sworn to protect the many legendary and mythical beings around the world that must remain hidden. With their enemies closing in and time running out, the kids know that they are all that stand between these ancient creatures and certain annihilation. Facing these nearly insurmountable odds, Colman must lead his friends to stand and fight.
