Guardians of the Moment

BlurbTwelve-year-old Ariane Raman only ever dreamed of magic, sketching fantastical creatures in her book as she listened to the waves crash on the Mauritian cliffs. But when a strange silver glow appears on the horizon, she and her friend Raj are pulled into a reality more incredible and dangerous than any fantasy. The ancient balance between land and sea is breaking, and a dark spirit is rising from the depths. Guided by a tiny, luminous being named Lumière, they must venture into the hidden heart of their island—from the glittering coral palaces of the Mysterious Ocean to the sacred, wounded forests of the interior. To succeed, they must find a courage they never knew they had, for the light they carry in their hearts is the only thing that can save their world from being swallowed by shadow forever.
