Ruby Dalton practically grew up in the Grand Canyon, exploring with her father. From him she learned outdoors skills as well as the legends about the Jewel of the Canyon, allegedly hidden decades ago by a mysterious millionaire who left behind cryptic maps and clues that no one has been able to decipher. But Ruby's father is gone now, and she's pursuing a different goal: to be a hiking guide.Clive McCallum is a failed illustrator who works in advertising — or he was, until he decided to quit the soul-crushing nine-to-five grind and book himself a spot on a four-day guided hike across the Grand Canyon. He needs an escape, some new inspiration, and maybe, just maybe, he'll get be able to look for the Jewel of the Canyon himself, instead of just listening to podcasts about it.Though they start off on the wrong foot, Ruby and Clive soon find themselves drawn together by their Canyon experience and the mystery of the Jewel. But when they leave the rest of their group one night, they end up tumbling into a world of trouble. To survive, they must learn to trust not just each other but themselves — and some surprising truths about the Jewel of the Canyon are revealed along the way.
