Bookroo's summary

Sunni Forrest's visit to Blackhope Tower turns perilous when her stepbrother, Dean, vanishes into a mysterious painting. With her friend Blaise, Sunni must navigate a magical labyrinth and uncover the secrets of the Mariner's Chamber to rescue him. As they delve deeper, they confront ancient enigmas and hidden dangers. Will they solve the mystery before it's too late, or become trapped in the tower's dark history forever?

From the publisher

An ancient painting, a magical labyrinth, and skeletons found in a locked room. For centuries, Blackhope Tower has been shrouded in intrigue, centering on a labyrinth and painting in the Mariner’s Chamber. When fourteen-year-old Sunni Forrest visits the tower and sees her stepbrother, Dean, disappear, seemingly into the painting itself, she must find him and risk being drawn into the heart of the Blackhope enigma. This action-packed debut follows Dean, Sunni, and her friend Blaise on a journey to the heart of an age-old mystery.
