When Danni McAllister receives an antique pouch as a birthday gift from her grandfather, her first reaction is disappointment. "Don't assume that something is empty, just because there's nothing there," her grandfather warns. Danni learns that for nearly two hundred years, the mysterious pouch-with its astonishing hidden secrets-has been handed down from generation to generations, and each new owner has had to discover for themselves how to access the power it holds, or suffer the penalty of using the pouch unwisely. While Danni struggles to understand the power of the pouch, her father's discovery of a rhodium mine makes her parents the targets of a deadly extortionist plot and the strange pouch is Danni's only hope of saving her family.
