Uncovering Cobbogoth by Hannah L. Clark.
Norah Lukens needs to uncover the truth about the fabled lost city of
Cobbogoth. After her archaeologist uncle’s murder, Norah is asked to
translate his old research journal for evidence and discovers that his
murder was a cover-up for something far more sinister.
When she turns to neighbor and only friend James Riley for help, she
realizes that not only is their bitter-sweet past haunting her every
step, but James is keeping dangerous secrets. Can Norah discover what
they are before its too late to share her own.
The Legend of the Cobbogothians is really where Uncovering Cobbogoth
begins. For as long as Norah can remember, her Uncle Jack has been
obsessed with the mythical people. He became an archeologist and world
famous Myth-chaser because of the Cobbogothian legends he heard while
visiting his Granddad Aegissida’s farm in Iceland.

Book Excerpt
The Legend of the Cobbogothians.
Long ago, at the beginning of time, a peculiar race ruled the earth.
They found favor in the eyes of the gods and received great gifts of
knowledge and power at their hands. These gifts made them
elementalists—masters of earth, wind, fire, water, metal, wood and
space. The elementalists thenceforth became rulers of the earth and sky.
With this power came corruption, and the elementalists soon forgot their
patron gods. Instead, they turned to worshipping themselves and their
own creations. This angered the gods, and in their wrath, the vowed to
bring an icy end to the prideful race.
Rumors of the looming destruction were heralded throughout the land, and
a final invitation was issued to the elementalists to renounce their
fallen ways. Yet only a few heard and heeded. Among them was a man named
Cobbogoth. Being a wise and humble servant of the gods, he believed the
warnings and led all who would listen deep into the bowels of the earth
to wait out the approaching storm.
When the day of destruction was come and the wrath of the gods rained
down, the race of elementalists was wiped away, and then came the
dawning of a violent and frigid ice age.
It is said that Cobbogoth’s posterity still lives beneath our feet, waiting to rise and rule the earth and sky once more.
