After returning from a dangerous expedition during the era of the Inca in Machu Picchu, Zen and her team make a surprising discovery in a hidden room at Life Chest Manor: a red chest full of coins bearing the symbol of a snake. Not long after, the team meets a new client and a mysterious woman, both of whom seem connected to the symbol. The symbol triggers Zen’s magic. She sees a vision of ancient Greece and must use her time travel ability to explore the dark side of the Order of the Indigo Magic. In the thrilling third installment of the Life Chest Extreme Adventures series, Zen must rise to new challenges, learn new skills and face the legend of Atlantis, resurrected.

This is a really fun book for middle grade or young teen readers about the fall of Atlantis, and a magical order dedicated to learning about the mysteries of time travel. I read it for a work assignment, and I thought it was really fun!
First I would like to state that I received this book through the Goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest review. I would like to thank the author for giving me this opportunity and honor in being able to read this book. When I received this book I began reading it at once. I really enjoy the authors writing style, pulls you into the book from the very beginning and you don't want to put the book down. It kept me on the edge of my seat reading from cover to cover. All the characters are very well portrayed though out. When you are finished you wish you weren't. A most wonderful read and I highly recommend this book.
