The discovery of a clan of Pygmies in Kenya becomes a quest for justice in this coming-of-age story filled with international adventure, rich mythology, and magical realism from globally celebrated novelist Isabel Allende.
If you faced your deepest fears, would you get out alive?
When International Geographic commissions Alexander Cold’s grandmother to write an article about the first elephant-led safaris in Africa, the two of them head to the blazing, red plains of Kenya with Alex’s best friend Nadia to cover the story. Days into the tour, a Catholic missionary approaches their camp in search of his companions who have mysteriously disappeared. Kate, Alexander, Nadia, and their team, agreeing to aid the rescue, enlist the help of a local pilot to lead them to the swampy forests of Ngoubé. There they discover a clan of Pygmies who unveil a harsh and surprising world of corruption, slavery, and poaching.
Alexander and Nadia, call on the magical strengths of Jaguar and Eagle, their totemic animal spirits, to fight to restore freedom to the Pygmies and return leadership to its rightful hands. The final installment of Isabel Allende’s celebrated trilogy of the journeys of Jaguar and Eagle is not to be missed.
