The Curse of the Lost Cave
Can Raven and the Truth Trackers uncover a legendary treasure before it falls into the wrong hands?

When a mysterious book is unearthed at a nearby archaeological dig, Raven Gallows—determined to become a famous detective—is eager to investigate. The artifact sets Raven and her friends on a quest to uncover the rumored hidden treasure of the legendary outlaw Alf Bolin.

As the team deciphers codes, navigates eerie caves, and battles personal fears, they discover they’re not the only ones chasing the prize. Dominion, a shadowy conglomerate with a suspicious history, is also on the hunt. Raven suspects that her mother and the elusive Dupin Society might also be investigating a deeper conspiracy tied to the corporation.

Facing rival treasure hunters, cryptic riddles, and potential betrayal, Raven must rely on her wits and courage, and her trust in her friends to stay ahead of those who might steal the treasure for their own use. Along the way, she grapples with questions of morality, the preservation of history, and the sacrifices required to pursue the truth.

When the Truth Trackers’ journey leads them to a lost cave, they must survive a final test of honor and bravery to outsmart their adversaries and recover the treasure—before it’s too late.
