A sealed room. A mysterious map. A dead girl's desperately penned journal. For Annalice, they lead to discovery - and danger!
Annalice Mallory, sheltered daughter of a family of map makers, is thrown into a world of intrigue when she discovers the cryptic diary of her long-dead ancestor. Along with the diary is a map of a mysterious, far-off island.
Philip, Annalice's brother, is fascinated by the island's promise of incomparable riches and leaves in search of it. But months pass without a word from Philip, and Annalice, determined to learn the secretes of the diary, and desperate to find her brother, begins a journey that leads her through the world's most exotic outposts: Cape Town, the Australian outback, and finally, to the lush, tropical islands of the South Seas - where she encournters heart-stopping peril, but also the promise of love.
