Jalina Jons and the Secret of the Gnomes - Jalina Jons Adventure Series, #7

A hidden world of magic thrives deep beneath the surface, where gnomes guard ancient secrets and protect the balance of nature, when a new dark evil threatens to destroy all the Gnome Kingdom and Fort Fernbottom...

Jalina (Nina) Jons and her brother, Jake, uncover a cryptic map pointing to a long‑lost evil kingdom - an act that unknowingly tears open the first thread in a catastrophe poised to shake Fort Fernbottom to its core. What begins as a curious discovery quickly spirals into a perilous mission as ancient forces stir and long‑buried secrets claw their way back into the light. With the fearless Rescue Team at her side, Nina must cross borders between magical realms, where every path hides a trap, and deadly creatures watch, waiting to pounce. The deeper they venture into the gnomes' hidden kingdom, and under that kingdom, the more they realize the truth: The gnomes guard secrets older and more volatile than anyone imagined. Mischievous tricksters, enchanted relics, and a rising tide of dark magic converge as an unseen enemy tightens its grip. Time is slipping away, alliances are fragile, and the balance of their world teeters on the brink of collapse.

If Nina and the Rescue Team fail to unlock the gnomes' greatest secret, the darkness hunting them won't only claim the Gnome Kingdom but will also consume Fort Fernbottom. But can they uncover the mysterious hidden secrets, or will they be destroyed by the dark forces fighting against them?
