The pair set sail along the New England coast in search of a pirate’s long‑hidden treasure, a cache of gold, silver, and precious gemstones that also contains the fabled Stone of Avarice. While Lizzy longs for a quiet life, Diesel’s relentless curiosity and love of adventure pull them deeper into a race—highlighted by rival treasure hunters, occult forces, and Diesel’s shadowy cousin Wulf—who will stop at nothing to claim the priceless stone and the fortunes it promises. Combining sharp wit, fast pacing, and a dash of paranormal intrigue, the book delivers the spirited humor and unpredictable twists that fans have come to expect.
