once again, another story that I really liked. our heroes travel from Tramerria to an island far away. the island is suppose to be where the evil persona will attempt to crossover to this earthly plane with the intent of killing all humankind. the heroes are tasked with stopping him. the sea travel does not go as expected. they are all separated and must survive the best they can. Eric is captured by a giant bird lizard as food for her baby, Addel is physically transforming into something other than human, Jacob is trying to help her maintain her humanity and Jade is captured by  local villagers and becomes a slave to Nima (one of the leaders and prodigy in the village). none of this is as threatening as what else lives on this island: the rolling death of the "bouchards" and the crazy-sadistic-demoni- humans Zhou and his sister Marita; these two consider themselves the ultimate power and rulers of this island. they take great pleasure in cruelty, torture and killing. our heroes are their next target. will the heroes be able to regroup in time to save one another and fight the evil that's coming? this book, like the others, is not well edited. but better than the first. the lack of editing did not bother me because I like the series that much! good read for older teens and adults.note to author- the cover and title is a little confusing as there isn't anything about any lost empire throughout the whole book. I guess the implication is the island they're on is the lost empire. perhaps it would have been better to have this title and cover for the next book in the series. I do love the cover. I think a good cover will draw readers in but it's storylines and good editing that keeps them. next time, spend the money on an editor rather than a graphic artist.
