Family. Betrayal. A portal to another time.

David Black wasn't looking for an adventure—he was barely making it through summer. But when a mysterious stranger arrives at his door with devastating news, his world changes forever. His mother has disappeared, his long-lost father is hiding ancient secrets, and his family's bloodline holds the key to a portal that can rewrite history.

Swept away to a towering castle, David uncovers a shocking truth: his mother had been kidnapped and taken to Pompeii in 79 AD, just days before Mount Vesuvius's eruption. With time running out, he must embark on a dangerous journey through history, facing shadowy foes, unraveling deadly mysteries, and confronting secrets about his family he isn't sure he's ready to uncover.

Joined by Sarah—a genius as snarky as she is brilliant—and Jakana, a fierce protector with her hidden past, David must race against time to save his mother and protect the fragile threads of history.
