Part of the Section 13 series
Framed for stealing a cursed jewel, two teens race to prevent a global catastrophe.
Jack Buckles and Gwen are entangled in a perilous quest after being framed for stealing the Black Prince’s Ruby. With Jack's abilities faltering and a mysterious voice haunting him, they must find the remaining cursed jewels. Each gem holds immense power, and failure means unleashing chaos upon the world. Can they outsmart the true thief and save history from a dark fate?
Jack and Gwen are back in this dynamic follow-up to The Lost Property Office. It’s been a year since Jack Buckles discovered the Keep beneath Baker Street, an underground tower no Section Thirteen was ever supposed to see; a year since his dad fell into a coma. Nothing has been the same since. Jack’s tracker abilities are on the fritz, Gwen’s not speaking to him and, what’s worse, there’s a pounding voice in his head calling for “the flame.” Then, Jack and Gwen are framed for the theft of a historic crown jewel—the Black Prince’s Ruby, one of three cursed rubies said to bring knowledge, loyalty, and the command of nations to whomever wields them all. Now, they must retrieve the other jewels before the true thief does, or risk unleashing a reign of terror unlike anything history’s ever seen.
