Bookroo's summary

Everly "Benny" Benedict discovers she's the heir to a mysterious fortune, but there's a catch. To claim it, she must solve a centuries-old puzzle and find a legendary island that disappeared 200 years ago. With only two weeks to unravel the clues left by her ancestor, Benny faces a race against time. But as she delves deeper, she realizes there's more at stake than just wealth. An ancient curse looms, and someone else is determined to uncover the island's secrets first. Can Benny succeed before time runs out?
