With Hallelujah at the helm, this is a full-blown adventure tinged with mysticism, intelligence, and the spirit of discovery.”

Now she and her friend Eustace, a runaway slave, must set out on a sweeping adventure by land and by sea to the only place where no one will ever find the cursed relic....
