The title
The Golden Statue gives the first book its subtitle and signals that an important object lies at the heart of the mystery.
What is the Golden Statue?
The Golden Statue is a legendary object in the world of the book. It is part of the prophecy, the ancient secrets and the larger quest that begins when the Ascendants meet at the Preditorium.
This page is deliberately spoiler-light. The important first thing to know is that the statue is not a decoration in the background; it is a goal, a clue and a reason the adventure becomes larger than the friends first expect.
Where it fits in the story
The quest
Its secrets connect the friends' immediate danger with a wider world of ancient clues, guarded places and Atlantis.
The promise
Readers can discover its full significance in the book, rather than having the answer handed to them before the journey begins.
Start at the beginning
The Golden Statue is waiting beyond Chapter One. The opening chapter begins with the Ascendants, a sporting event and a stadium that is more than it first appears.
Read Chapter One, or learn why the Preditorium matters before the journey below it begins.
The clue is only the beginning
Meet the friends first. The wider quest will reveal itself in its own time.
