Mauritius: Where the Quiet Light LivesAva arrives in Mauritius with a broken heart, a sketchbook, and the ghost of her grandmother's stories. She expects healing, beauty, perhaps a new muse. She doesn't expect the island to watch her-or for the quiet whispers in the cane fields to be a language she was born to understand. When she meets Kaël, a solitary guardian bound by a tragic legacy to protect the island's hidden magic, Ava's artistic sight awakens a dangerous truth: the island's legendary beauty is a living, conscious force, and it is under siege from ancient, hungry shadows. To save Kaël and the home she's come to love, Ava must make an impossible choice: flee back to a safe, grey existence, or embrace a magical inheritance that demands a terrible price and binds her soul to the land forever. Mauritius: Where the Quiet Light Lives is a spellbinding tale of ancestral magic, forbidden love, and the courage it takes to choose a magnificent, dangerous destiny over a safe, empty life.
