About the Book

When Lalani Sarita’s mother falls gravely ill, Lalani must leave Sanlagita and find the riches of the legendary Mount Isa, which towers on an island to the north. But others before her have died on the same quest. How can she survive the epic tests of the archipelago? And how will she manage without Veyda, her best friend?
