Book1: Journey to 琅玕 (Tree of Life)

Somewhere on the vast ocean, the most luxurious and expensive expedition cruise superyacht in the world glides gracefully through the water. Its owner Bryan Doncaster proclaims, "To explore the furthest corners of the world, to boldly go where no one has gone before, and to do so in utmost comfort." But what dark secret is Bryan Doncaster hiding? What fate awaits him?

Four teenagers - Tyson, Lucas, Mia, and Momo - who share a special bond between each other, find themselves stranded in the middle of the ocean. Nobody knows what happened, not even themselves. Someone or something took their memory away! What are they going to do? Are they really good friends as they seem to be? Do they have their own hidden agenda? Could there be some mysterious force at play?

Momo, a quiet and kind-hearted girl, whose life was in danger from the day she was born, risks everything to protect the evil spirit and ultimately leaves with the very being....

A strange animal lurks in the shadows, driven by a singular cry: Revenge!
