Publisher's Synopsis
Dust swirled into the air as I twisted the small metal peg, my heart pounding. Click. A second peg, identical to the first, was hidden on the opposite side of the chest. My fingers trembled as I turned it. Click.
The silence stretched as I gripped the handle. "Here goes nothing," I muttered, bracing myself. With one hard yank, the lid groaned open, releasing a rush of stale air. My pulse thundered in my ears as I stared into the shadows within.
This was more than an old chest. More than a forgotten relic buried in my grandpa's old den. This was a secret waiting to be uncovered-a truth that could change everything.
Shiloh Wolf never expected to find anything unusual while rummaging through her grandma's storage room. But when she uncovers an ancient journal filled with cryptic clues, lost artifacts, and secrets of the long-forgotten Katauwin tribe, she realizes this discovery could change everything-including her family's future in Moose River Station.
With the help of a mysterious hermit in the woods and her best friend, Maverick McNeal-a fearless mountain biker-Shiloh follows the trail left behind by the legendary Chief Cantu. But avoiding Nate Gunner, her former best friend-turned-rebel skateboarder, is proving harder than she expected. As the search intensifies, Shiloh must decide if trusting Nate is worth the risk.
As she pieces together the past, Shiloh begins to see how God weaves every story-including her own-with purpose and meaning. But will uncovering the truth be enough to save the tribe's legacy... and her family's place in Moose River Station?
