Rachel Moore: Us in Ruins - gebunden

Margot is on the quest to uncover and reassemble an ancient-and cursed-vase, with the help of a boy who went missing in 1932, because it´s the only way to put back together her broken heart in this standa-lone adventure rom-com, perfect for fans of What the River Knows and The Lost City.

The mythical Vase of Venus Aurelia hasn´t been seen since 1932, but Margot Rhodes is determined to change that.

Drawn by the vase´s supposed magical properties, Margot embarks on her school´s archaeological trip to Pompeii. Sure, it´s her first time holding a shovel, but she´s got something no one else does: lost teenage explorer Van Keane´s journal.

Poring over the poetic entries that serve as a map to the vase´s missing shards, Margot finds herself falling in love with the boy who wrote it a century ago. She´s shocked when her search leads her to a statue that looks exactly like Van, and then the statue comes to life.

Catapulted into the present, Van is nothing like the wordsmith Margot imagined. He´s all sharp edges, intent on retrieving the relic for all the wrong reasons. But it takes two to survive Venus´s death-defying challenges, and, together, Margot and Van must excavate the treasure-and their buried pasts-before their story ends in ruins.

With a blend of humor, magic, and love, Rachel Moore crafts another stand-alone adventure rom-com full of double- and triple-crosses, hilarious shenanigans, and frustration-fueled banter, where the best treasure is true love.
