SPOILERS!!!
Ok, now that I've gotten that out of the way, I am going to summarize my favorite part. The ending of the first book in "The Seven Wonders" series. We open in on the main characters, Marco, Cass, Aly, and Jack. Each of them has been diagnosed with the G7W. This gives them qualities similar to super humans. Not much is known on this condition, except that it is very deadly to the people that have it. The four of them are sent to "The Karai Institute" where they get treatment for their condition. That is the only thing keeping them alive. They set off into a deadly expedition into a dark and ominious cave to where the think is a very important object is. The "Loculus". At this point in the series we are not sure exactly what this is and what it does.
As the main characters are walking through the labryinth like cave, they come to a large room. In the center of the room, they find a black sword in a slit in the ground. Jack is somewhat drawn to it and pulls it out. He snaps back to his regular self and he puts the sword back. After wandering around the caves a little while longer they come to the room holding the "Loculus". There is a sudden tremor and a griffin comes out of nowhere and snatches up the "Loculus" and Cass. This opens a whole in the roof which they all escape from. Every bit of security from the Karai Institute comes out shooting the griffin. The head researcher comes up to Jack and asks him what happened. He then tells them the black sword was the seal on the griffin and Jack broke it!
The Griffin flys off into the distance with case and the "Loculus". All seems lost when the head researcher tells them they had trackers implanted into the four of them, which of course brings up a lot of trust issues. The griffin has taken case back to Greece and back to where what I think is one of the seven wonders, the Colossus. The problem is, Cass's tracker is somehow broken and they have no idea where the Colossus is in Greece. The head researcher tells them that the guardians of the Colossus, they will find Cass. They search for a while in greece before spotting people in robes. They suspect these people of being the monks. They follow them back to a temple where all chaos is breaking loose.
All the monks are running and screaming. The griffin has built its giant nest right in the middle of the temple. This nest is filled with holes that Cass could possibly be in. They see the "Loculus" inside the Griffins mouth. The lure it inside the cockpit in a truck which gets the griffins head stuck and drops the "Loculus". They quickly grab the "Loculus" and they run from the Griffin. They realize that they will never be able to find Cass if the griffin is always looking for a snack. They realize that the only thing that could fight the Griffin is the Colossus. They notice the "Loculus" start to glow. They also see a part of the temple start to glow in unison with the "Loculus" They all rush to see what the glow is causing the glow.
They see piles upon piles of broken sculptures. The Colossus is among these broken pieces. The "Loculus" takes the form of a torch and all the broken Colossus pieces start to form into the original shape once again. It grabs jack and decides to bring him along with him.The Colossus and the Griffin engage in a mighty battle. The Colossus is defeated and the Griffin is very weakened. The three stab the griffin and it falls into the ocean. Jack grabs the "Loculus" and G7W activates within Jack.
He stars soaring through the sky, holding on as tight as he can to the "Loculus" to prevent himself from falling. He picks up his friends and they start to search for Cass. When they find him, he is all wrapped in a cocoon id griffin spit. They break of a niece of rock and cut him out. They all head back the Karai Institute and get Cass his treatment. In the very last pages they realize that the Loculus is missing. And so is Marco!
