Overview
āR. L. Stine, author ofĀ Goosebumps
Set in 19th century Sri Lanka and inspired by local folklore, the daughter of a traditional demon-priestārelentlessly bullied by peers and accused of witchcraft herselfātries to solve the mysterious attacks that have been terrorizing her coastal village.
Being the daughter of the village Capuwa, or demon-priest, Amara is used to keeping mostly to herself. Influenced by the new religious practices brought in by the British Colonizers, the villagers who onceĀ respected her fatherās craft have turned on the family. Yet, they all still seem to call on him whenever supernatural disturbances arise.
Now someoneāor somethingāis viciously seizing upon men in the jungle. But instead of enlisting Amaraās fatherās help, the villages have accused him of carrying out the attacks himself.
As she tries to clear her fatherās name, Amara finds herself haunted by dreams that eerily predict the dark forces on her island. And she canāt shake the feeling that itās all connected to the night she was recovering from a strange illness, and woke up, scared and confused, to hear her motherās frantic cries: No one can find out what happened.
