Synopsis
Loukas & Lydia and the Secret of the Disk
Grand Prize (Published Book) — Eyelands Book Awards 2025.Loukas and Lydia arrive in Crete expecting 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.
Soon they’re drawn into the last days of Minoan Crete, guided by a mysterious boy named Taris and chased by secrets that refuse to stay buried. Loukas and Lydia must decode ancient clues, outsmart a dangerous court, and decide when to help and when to stand back—before history seals itself for good.
Fast-paced and full of heart, this first adventure in The Disk Chronicles is perfect for readers ages 10–14 and family read-alouds. A science-tuned, myth-steeped journey where curiosity and courage bend time.

À propos des auteurs
A. F. Helios writes mystery-charged adventures where science, history, and imagination collide. His debut novel, Loukas & Lydia and the Secret of the Disk, launches a larger series that re-examines ancient myths with evidence, engineering, and heart. A composer for media and video games, he brings rhythm and atmosphere to every page. Early drafts are road-tested at home by his children, who never hesitate to say when a scene "sounds right"-or doesn't. When he isn't writing, he's cooking with his family, sketching puzzles, or planning the next journey.
Li Yuan illustrates for children's and middle-grade readers, combining graphite textures with digital color. Their work often draws on myth, history, and a strong sense of place.
Lucien Thomas edits middle-grade fiction with an emphasis on story structure, pacing, and voice. He supports authors from developmental edit through final polish.
