Saving her mentor wasn't in the plan-but neither was murder.
Marrakesh, 1935. A cursed artifact. A dead archaeologist. When Professor Niles Hadley is arrested for a murder he didn't commit, 14-year-old Riley Chase sets out to clear his name-only to uncover a conspiracy far older and deadlier than she ever imagined.
Someone is killing to find the Black Talon, a relic steeped in legend and blood. With the help of a sharp-tongued servant girl, young Riley races from moonlit mosques to forbidden sanctums, hunted by shadowy agents who will stop at nothing to claim the Talon's power.
But Marrakesh is a city of masks and whispers, where every truth hides another lie-and the deeper Riley digs, the closer she comes to the curse itself. In a world caught between empire and superstition, science and sorcery, she'll confront assassins, ancient faiths, and the ghosts of her own past before the desert claims them all.
Pulp mystery meets gothic adventure in Curse of the Black Talon-a tale of lost relics, forbidden secrets, and courage found in the unlikeliest places. As the sands shift and the dead refuse to rest, Riley Chase must risk everything to uncover the truth... before the curse claims its next victim.
