Loukas & Lydia and The Secret Of The Disk
Book 1

A science‑tuned, myth‑steeped adventure through Minoan Crete where curiosity and courage bend time.

Loukas and Lydia arrive in Crete for ruins and museums, not danger. At Knossos, a tremor drops them into a hidden room preserved like a breath held for millennia. On a table waits a Disk—spiraled with symbols, answering to notes like an ancient instrument. When the right pattern sings, time ripples, and the past begins to move around them. What follows is a race to understand the rules—and themselves—before curiosity turns costly. A science-minded mystery where myth becomes a problem to solve.

Ages 10–14Upper MG

Loukas and Lydia, curious travelers with a talent for puzzles, fall—literally—into a hidden room beneath the Queen’s Apartments at Knossos. There, The Disk, a device from an unknown past, hums with sounds and symbols that respond to touch. It doesn’t move them through time. It teaches them to step around it. Now the twins must decode Minoan secrets, outsmart a dangerous court, and decide when to help—and when to stand back—before history seals itself.
