The Keeper of Balance When eleven-year-old Thomas Moreton decodes a secret message hidden in his uncle's letter, he never expects it to lead to a chain of forgotten islands off the coast of New York. Linked to a nineteenth-century explorer and a ship, the islands hold more than old maps - they hide a powerful secret buried deep beneath the sand. But Captain Elias wasn't the first to discover it. And he may not have been the last. As Thomas uncovers his surprising family connection to the islands, he must decide whether to reveal what he finds... or protect a mystery that has remained balanced for generations. Because some discoveries aren't meant to be owned. They're meant to be kept.
