About This Book

A band of young adventurers exploring an abandoned mountain citadel in Haiti becomes entangled in traps, mysterious drum signals, and strange lights while hunting a hidden fortune. One boy falls into a cramped, slanted chamber and must search every niche for escape as companions interpret booming native drums, suspicious visitors, and mechanical devices that transform ritual sounds into deception. The plot progresses through cliffside chases, secret passages, stowaways, and recovered curiosities, culminating in the discovery of hidden jewels and the unfolding explanation behind the island’s dangers and the treasure’s concealment.
