Zoe Flores loves puzzles, breaking rules, and pretending she’s Nancy Drew. Brilliant with logic but hopeless with small talk, she’s wired for hidden things—and often guided by dreams that come true. So when her treasure-hunting Aunt Aggie vanishes off the coast of Scotland, Zoe doesn’t see an accident. She sees mystical foul play.

​

The trail leads to the storm-lashed Orkney Isles, where ancient stone circles guard secrets and Viking tombs hum with curses. There, Zoe inherits Aggie’s Wonderbelt—a toolbelt full of magical oddities: a magnifying glass that sees through stone, a compass that points to sea dragons, and, most astonishingly, a brass kaleidoscope that connects her to the Clan. Part ghost, part guide, these bold women from history offer centuries of wisdom, sass, and second sight.

​

Zoe’s search for the legendary Stones of Life turns into a thrilling treasure hunt through time. Along the way, she’ll face an undead Viking sorceress, the treacherous Finfolk, floating spellbooks, and—of course—a splash of Trow spit.

​

Good thing she’s got backup: a brave little sister, a local boy with spy-movie swagger, and Huey the Hogboon, who lives in the laundry chute and snacks on toenails (don’t ask).

​

To survive a world of secrets and spells, Zoe must think like a scientist, rise like a rebel, and lead like a queen.
