Both men bring their young daughters, never expecting a simple archeological dig to turn into a dangerous mystery.In this remote, exotic corner of the world, where myths and legends run deep, things start going terribly wrong. Excavation tools go missing, camping tents inexplicably become unbearably cold, and giant boulders come tumbling out of the jungle at the worst possible times.Is it the Night Marchers, those ghostly wraiths doomed to wander the mountains of Oahu for eternity? Is it the undead spirits of the warrior class, forever marching but never arriving? Is it those phantoms of the night who warn mortals away with the cold breath of the dead?Or is there a more earthly explanation?Either way, the gray-eyed Haley Quinn is just the 13-year-old to find out. And along the way, she just might uncover the truth behind an ancient myth-a legend of a giant who sailed through sky and cloud to arrive at this island home. The Legend of Hagoth.
