Neutral Buoyancy

In 1659, Marcus Volturi's family was shattered by a brutal attack that led to the loss of a brother and the kidnapping of his wife. Seeking to reclaim the love of his life and avenge his family, Marcus set sail across the globe. He never returned home. For centuries, Marcus' story of tragedy and loss was forgotten until a distant relative, Carlisle Cullen, decided to uncover the truth concerning Marcus' journey and disappearance. Carlisle's obsession with his ancestral uncle's story lead him to hire Edward Masen, a treasure hunter with a knack for unraveling mysteries that have been lost to the ages. Edward and his partner, Emmett McCarty, agree to team with the Cullen family to undertake a summer-long odyssey to discover the fate of Marcus Volturi and his wife. During his quest, Edward uncovers more than he bargained for; an unexpected attraction to Carlisle's surrogate daughter, Isabella Swan, which forces Edward to reconcile his feelings and desires as love, family, history, and treachery collide during one unforgettable summer.
