For five years, two orphaned African gray parrots have made their
home in the branches of Babu Nyumbani—a magical ancient tree in the
Congo rainforest that grows doorways to incredible places.
A mysterious invitation and treasure map arrive, bearing symbols neither sibling can read but both somehow recognize.
The map leads to the Celtic lands, when at the festival of Samhain, the veil between worlds is thin and wakes things better left sleeping. There, Sophie and Pierre will meet a scarecrow whose loyalties shift like wind through straw, face shadows that hunt and seek to destroy, and discover a treasure powerful enough to crown kings—or destroy kingdoms.
Finding the treasure is only half the journey. Understanding why it chose them—two orphaned birds from a faraway forest—will change everything they thought they knew. About the treasure. About the realm. And perhaps, about the family they lost.
The magic of Samhain is rising. The shadows are gathering. And two young parrots are about to discover that some questions, once asked, can never be unanswered.
Samhain pronounced [sow-wen]
"A soaring adventure where Celtic myth meets African wonder, and two unforgettable heroes discover that the strongest magic of all is family."
“They were not treasure hunters; they were seekers of truth, driven by a love that transcended time and space. The old forest had many secrets, but Sophie and Pierre were ready to unravel them, one feather, one step, one heartbeat at a time.”
