The Last Song of the Takamaka
In 1803, as a cyclone devours the coast of Mauritius, a woman named Marie-Jeanne buries a wooden box beneath a takamaka tree-a compass that points to moments instead of north, a map of a lagoon that no longer exists, and a dried white flower that will open only for the one destined to return. Two centuries later, Aisha Ramgoolam inherits her grandmother's beach house with thirty days to claim it, but the island has other plans: a drumming that pulses in her dreams, a compass that spins in her hand, and a hidden lagoon whose song has been waiting for her to listen. To save the heart of Mauritius from those who would steal its memory, Aisha must gather seven keepers, perform an ancient ceremony beneath a blood moon, and discover that the most powerful magic is not in the water-but in the act of remembering.
