Fifteen-year-old Kyan Hunter never asked for magic. He just wanted to survive church camp and keep his head down during the carnival break, and maybe break a few rules with his bestfriend Sam. But rules are made for a reason, after accidently opening a shadow road linking the spirit world with his, a mysterious earthquake shakes the ground beneath Victory Heights, Kyan begins to see things-glimpses of creatures from island tales, eyes in the canopies, tiny rat-like men and a serpent woman made of moonlight and river water. Suddenly, the rules of the world shifts. The counselors are hiding something, the forest feels alive, and the old stories his grandmother warned him about? They're no longer just bedtime tales. As strange markings appear on his skin and whispers call him deeper into the bush, Kyan is forced to confront who he is-and what he's becoming. Because in Trinidad and Tobago, some myths are alive. And they know your story.
