When Grace Cahill dies, she leaves her heirs a final dare: take a million dollars or join a dangerous hunt for thirty-nine clues. Amy and Dan accept-along with cousins Maya, Elliot, and Teddy Grayson, the Kabras, Irina Spasky, the Holts, Alistair Oh, and the Starlings.
Following Grace's orders, the Grayson siblings split up.
Elliot stays with Amy and Dan, a calm, sharp code-breaker recovering memories Grace hid for his safety.
Maya, half Kabra-trained and half chaos, joins Ian and Natalie and keeps them from imploding.
Teddy, youngest but stubbornly brave, ends up with the Starlings.
Their first clash comes when Grace's mansion burns down-the third Cahill-related fire. Elliot feels the old panic rise but hides it, focusing on keeping Amy and Dan safe.
Grace's clue sends the trio to Philadelphia and into Benjamin Franklin's riddles. The Kabras ambush them, Irina stalks them, and Alistair plays both sides. Through it all, Elliot keeps steady-signing reassurance, teasing Dan, and stepping into the quiet, protective role Grace once held.
By the time they escape Philadelphia and realize the next clue lies in Paris, they're scraped up, exhausted, and closer than they admit. They still don't understand the clue or how many enemies wait ahead.
But Grace trusted them with this.
And they'll trust each other-
even when the rest of the family wants them dead.
