Vira’s only hope is to find a mysterious artefact of legend: the Ivory Key. But in order to retrieve it, she must reunite with her estranged siblings, who have taken very different paths. Vira, Ronak, Kaleb and runaway Riya each have something to gain from finding the Ivory Key — and even more to lose if they fail.
