Tamarind never knew her Indian mum, who died soon after she was

born.

So when she arrives at her ancestral home, a huge mansion in the

Himalayas surrounded by luxuriant gardens, she’s full of questions

for her extended family.

But instead of answers, she finds an ominous silence – and

a trickle of intriguing clues: an abandoned hut, a friendly monkey,

a glowing star ring, and a strange girl in the garden who calls

herself Ishta.

Slowly, Tamarind unravels a mystery at the heart of who she is

The second novel by Jasbinder Bilan, author of the Costa

with magic, in a breathtaking Indian setting.
